jasonconnery.tripod.com: «The Return of the Thief of Baghdad was launched with much fanfare starring Chiranjeevi and a whole host of performers from Hollywood three years ago and then the movie was put on hold after the producers' coffers dried up and somewhere along the line Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai were pencilled into the movie and now the movie's fate is shrouded in mystery. With even Rahman making ambiguous statements about his commitment to the movie, for all practical purposes the movie can be considered shelved (2002)».
