He is (was) one of the best Mass heroes Telugu cinema is blessed with in this contemporary period. In fact, his journey to success from a struggling character artist to indomitable stardom serves a true inspiration for many. There was a time when biggest of star heroes were shaken in timing their film releases against this man.
Off late, everything went wrong for this King of Masses and he seems to have clearly lost the much needed kick in his timing. More than anything else, series of failures bought him back to rock bottom. One of the new movies from this most dependable hero performed so miserably that producers are sunk in ground.
Latest buzz is that our ageing star realized a truth that his career is almost closed and decided to accept scripts, sign assignments based only on payment criteria. ‘Tell me the remuneration figure and not about the script,’ is the common line he is using at every producer. There ends the matter…Madathadi Poyindi.
