Thanks to Puri Jagannath who bought back the demand for cop stories in Telugu cinema. However, Sai Kumar’s ‘Police Story’ was the first in present day Telugu industry which has shown the power of Telugu Cops at Box Office. From then on, mass directors tried their hand at similar Police concepts with treatment and scripting suited to their own style. After ‘Pokiri,’ there is a big rush of Telugu Police Heroes and ‘Dookudu, Gabbar Singh’ took them to peak.
Srinu Vytla, who made ‘Dookudu’ as an unforgettable milestone in Mahesh Babu’s career is on to his next film ‘Aagadu’ with same Mahesh. The only difference is Mahesh will not be a jovial cop like the way his characterization was dealt in ‘Dookudu.’ As per the highly placed sources, Srinu has changed the plate of Mahesh from a funny cop to serious and strict police officer on duty for ‘Aagadu’ which will be a high voltage action entertainer.
