After the happening of ‘Rakhi’ for Junior NTR, there was no film in his career which was truly meant to preach a message for the society. Never to curse, the Young Tiger is passing through a lull phase and no actor will adventure into unnecessary risks at this point of time. Apparently, we heard some shaking news that Koratala Siva has actually outlined the ‘Srimanthudu’ plot first to Junior NTR before approaching Mahesh Babu.
After the superb commercial journey of ‘Mirchi’ with Prabhas, we haven’t expected Koratala to take a long gap knocking the doors of Junior NTR and Ramcharan. We all know, NTR and Siva share a special bond but going by his current scenario NTR’s experiment with ‘Srimanthudu’ story could have backfired. When NTR judged the same and Charan also dropped Koratala’s venture, everything looked bleak for the talented writer turned director before Mythri Movie Makers immediately arranged for ‘Srimanthudu’ launch.
Definitely, some might understand this film as a missed opportunity for Junior NTR. But, we cannot see anything fitting to the Tee like Mahesh Babu into Harsha character. There is a sense of royalty and amazing looks with unique voice diction, dialogue modulation from Mahesh helped in ‘Srimanthudu’ a blockbuster result.
