Writer Dumps Akkineni Family Twice!

If story is the fundamental component to begin the process of making a film project there by preparing the script, then Akkineni family is twice bowled by the fantasy thoughts of story writer Veligonda Srinivas. Thinking high over the regular storylines, Akkineni Nagarjuna forever welcomed new ideas and paid the price for it. 

Veligonda Srinivas happens to be the key story supplier for Nagarjuna ‘Damarukam’ and then Akhil debut flick ‘Akhil.’ Unfortunately, both the movies flunked at Box Office in no time after their release. Coincidentally, ‘Damarukam’ faced financial hurdles prior to release while ‘Akhil’ is sure to push its producers and buyers into fiscal turmoil now after the release. 

To gauge on qualitative norms, ‘Damarukam’ is somewhere surely a passable product given the lavish VFX, well composed songs and the devotional-fantasy concept close to Telugu hearts in complete contrast to a hopeless ‘Akhil’ which neither had any hold on narration nor a grip on screenplay because everything sensed so feeble. Other than heroes, directors and producers, if there is anyone to take the blame then Veligonda Srinivas is the one to be taken potshots at by Akkineni Fans because he dumped their heroes not ones but twice.
