నా ఇంట్లోకి వచ్చి కార్లను.. Manchu Manoj Exclusive Face to Face Interview | Manchu Vishnu

Director Sukumar, who turns 56 today, rose to national prominence with the Pushpa franchise, earning recognition as a cult filmmaker well beyond the Telugu-speaking states. However, for Telugu audiences, his stature goes far beyond box-office numbers and star-driven spectacles.

Even while continuing to direct big-budget films with top stars, Sukumar has quietly built a distinct creative identity through Sukumar Writings. Under this banner, he has backed a wide range of concept-driven and pan-India projects known for their originality and strong storytelling. Over the last decade, he has co-produced several notable films in collaboration with major production houses, including Kumari 21F, Uppena, Virupaksha, 18 Pages, Pushpa 2: The Rule, and Gandhi Thatha Chettu.

Among these, Pushpa 2: The Rule stands as the banner’s most prestigious success. The film shattered box-office records across India and overseas and went on to become a cultural phenomenon. Industry insiders note that the film perfectly reflected the scale of Sukumar’s creative vision while reinforcing the consistent production quality associated with Sukumar Writings.

At present, Sukumar is deeply engaged in scripting and pre-visualisation work for his next directorial venture starring Ram Charan. He is also co-producing the film under the Sukumar Writings banner. After the massive success of Rangasthalam, the reunion of Ram Charan and Sukumar is widely expected to result in yet another major box-office success.
