Sri Simha Koduri, son of legendary MM Keeravani and nephew of SS Rajamouli, made his debut with the film Mathu Vadalara in 2019. The film became a sleeper hit, and there were expectations for Simha to continue on the path of success.
But all his subsequent films, Thellavarithe Guruvaram, Dongalunnaru Jaagratha, turned out to be flops. His latest film, Bhaag Saale, released last week, also turned out to be a damp squib and might not recover even the release expenses.
They turned out to be failures, which isn’t the most worrying factor here. The fact that they went completely unnoticed without any minimum buzz is what should make Sri Simha worry. He couldn’t create any awareness, and the audience didn’t even give his films any kind of chance in the first place.
Sri Simha comes from an illustrious family and has some of the biggest legends at his disposal. It’s quite strange that he is not taking their advice or suggestions on how to proceed in his career. It’s commendable if he wants to create his own mark without the help of his family, but still choosing films and projects with zero credibility would finish his career even before starting.
Sri Simha’s upcoming film, ‘Ustaad’ is set to release in August. It is crucial to generate buzz among the audience and build anticipation. The movie industry is a serious business, and Sri Simha should not take it for granted.
