Priyadarshi Not The First Choice For Darling

Priyadarshi not the first choice for Darling. Ashwin Ram's directorial debut in Telugu, "Darling," starring Priyadarshi and Nabha Natesh, has received a mixed response from audiences. While the storyline is generally considered good, the execution and narrative seem to have fallen short, leaving many viewers disappointed.

A significant point of discussion is the casting of Nabha Natesh. Many feel that the heroine character, with its potential for impactful performance, was not fully utilized. While the trailer generated positive buzz, the overall reception suggests that Nabha's performance did not resonate with the audience.

The casting of Priyadarshi in the lead role also raised eyebrows. Originally, Ashwin Ram had approached Allari Naresh for the role six years ago, but Naresh, who was going through a string of box office failures, declined the offer. Priyadarshi was later chosen, likely due to his recent success in "Balagam," making him a more commercially viable option. However, despite his efforts, the "magic" expected by the audience seems to be missing, according to analysts.

While "Darling" has received mixed reviews, it's too early to say whether the film will be a box office success. The weekend collections will be crucial in determining the film's fate. It is worth noting that the film's failure is unlikely to significantly impact Priyadarshi's career, as he has another project lined up.

However, Nabha Natesh's performance has been criticized, adding to a string of recent underwhelming roles. Whether this will impact her career remains to be seen.

Overall, "Darling" has sparked discussions about casting choices and the execution of a potentially promising story. The film's success, or lack thereof, will likely be determined by its performance at the box office in the coming days.
