Nandamuri Kalyanram could not afford to take any big risk at this point of career when nothing is really proving positive. May it be personal upsets or professional setbacks, NKR had a bad phase in last one year or so. This time he is arriving with full fledged commercial mass masala ‘Patas’ in direction of Anil Ravipudi with Shruit Sodhi playing heroine. The film has completed all post production works and is readied for release may be in early January. However, the presence of Pawan Kalyan ‘Gopala Gopala’ and Shankar’s ‘I’ posed a big threat. Strictly speaking, none of these two films have got their dates fixed till this penultimate moment.
At a time when there is still certain dilemma, NKR took to a safe and secured path by pushing ‘Patas’ release to somewhere in last week of this month where there will be no big competitors. A hit is what he needs and took a good decision.
