Koratala Siva: One Million Dollars Success & Tragic Story

Director Koratala Siva made only 6 movies, but he is one of the most successful commercial directors until ‘Acharya’ happened.

He is now gearing up for his 7th film, ‘Devara,’ releasing on September 27th. Interestingly, there is a strange coincidence with the North America collections.

Koratala Siva’s ‘Acharya,’ which had a rare Chiranjeevi and son Ram Charan combination, bombed badly at the U.S. box office, struggling to reach $1 million gross in its run. The fact that it happened post a film like ‘RRR’ is even more shocking because ‘Acharya’ was an immediate next release for Ram Charan, who played a key role and shared the screen with his father Chiranjeevi for the first time.

Now, the same Koratala Siva’s ‘Devara’ has crossed $1 million in pre-sales itself, and this is happening even before the trailer is out, which makes it even more interesting.

‘Devara’ is a golden opportunity for Koratala Siva to make a statement for all the humiliation he faced for the first time with ‘Acharya,’ and the audience trend is also in favor as they are lapping up action films with scale.
