Kona Venkat has been a strong brand ruling the industry from last few years with his super hit template worked and re-worked on many star heroes. However, times can never be the same and he is facing a struggling phase from last few months with disastrous movies delivered from his side.
While Kona’s name is attached to new movie ‘Soukhyam’ in scripting and story development department, surprisingly he was found missing at audio function held yesterday night in Ongole. In contrast, Kona’s partner Gopi Mohan made it to the occasion along with Gopichand, Regina, Prudhvi, producer Ananda Prasad and director AS Ravi Kumar Chowdary.
‘Kona’s absence cannot be a big issue because he is out of form. Even if he was present, it could have sent negative vibrations regarding ‘Soukhyam.’ Deliberately, producers might have requested him to stay away from function or Kona himself might have been busy with other personal works. Whatever, he bunked the event and this is by no means to become a controversy,’ a cinema source analyzed.
