Ohmkar, as an elder brother kept every effort in promoting his young brother Ashwin as hero besides establishing himself as a talented director. Their joint first efforts misfired with ‘Genius’ and only with ‘Raju Gari Gadhi,’ the duo came to limelight. While Ashwin later tried his hand at couple of solo hero films, truth is he could not succeed without blessings from Annayya Ohmkar.
For one more time, Ohmkar is pushing Ashwin in ‘Raju Gari Gadhi 2’ by offering a full length important role. Though Nagarjuna, Samanta, Seerat Kapoor and Naresh are very much visible in promotional pictures pulled from working location, reports say Ashwin got maximum screen space before Nagarjuna’s late arrival into narrative.
It is a deliberate move by producers Prasad V Potluri and Niranjan Reddy to hide Ashwin because ‘Raju Gari Gadhi 2’ sells more on Nagarjuna, Samanta, Seerat faces but not for Ohmkar’s brother.
Though Ohmkar is giving nothing for Ashwin in pre release publicity, hope there’s something for a respite on the screen. Everything done fo the greater good of film's commercial output.
