How many heroes in industry show this gratitude and inspirational friendship like what is done by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram? Yes, entire film circle is buzzing on Kalyan Ram’s unwise selection of Mallikarjun as director for ‘Sher’ despite having two flops ‘Abhimanyu, Kaththi’ to his discredit and both with NKR. In fact, ‘Sher’ is a project which went on floors even before ‘Pataas’ has taken-off but they planned the release later to ‘Pataas.’
Now that audience have given a divided verdict for ‘Sher’ on day one, people have started to discuss on softer side of NKR for valuing the long time friendship had with Malli. Among the three films in this combination, ‘Kaththi’ can be called as a far better project relative to other two. Before calling ‘Sher’ as a lost opportunity for Malli, there is a necessity for him to post-mortem the failures and take-up next with cautiousness.
‘Kalyan Ram is just like his Babai Balakrishna. He can be easily pleased. There were times in past when Balayya also committed similar mistakes in project selection just out of his good attitude,’ a source quoted. A true friend loves you despite your imperfections. NKR did not find past failures of Mallikarjun as a reason to reject ‘Sher.’ So, he is a true friend with golden heart.
