It is quite common for heroes to have bad phases in their careers. Currently, the Akkineni heroes are going through such a period. King Nagarjuna arrived with ‘Ghost’ during the Dasara season of 2022. This action flick which was directed by Praveen Sattaru turned out to be a disaster. It did not get good collections and the talk wasn’t encouraging too. Prior to that, Nagarjuna’s ‘Manmadhudu 2’ and ‘Wild Dog’ were also big failures.
Last year, Naga Chaitanya arrived with a slice-of-life drama named ‘Thank You’. Dil Raju produced it while Vikram Kumar directed this movie. It ended up being a big failure. Dil Raju lost a lot of money and Vikram Kumar is yet to start his new project. Young hero Akhil Akkineni too faced a huge disaster in the form of ‘Agent’.
Directed by Surender Reddy, this high-budget spy thriller was released on 28th April and the talk was very bad that it learned less than 10 crores while the movie was made on a budget of 80 crores. Akhil already had flops like ‘Akhil’, ‘Hello’, and ‘Mr. Majnu’ before. But people hoped for Naga Chaitanya to bounce back with ‘Custody’ as the story was quite interesting and the promos generated a lot of positive buzz.
But the movie which came out on Friday turned out to be a huge disappointment. Many are predicting that it will be a big failure in both Naga Chaitanya and Venkat Prabhu’s careers. Chaitanya’s plans to get launched in Bollywood with ‘Laal Singh Chadda’ failed as well. With the wrong script selection and execution, the movies ended up as huge debacles. The Akkineni heroes have to be very careful with their next projects. Otherwise, their market will go down even further. Hope that it never happens.

Sai Pallavi in Two Mythological Pan-India Films
Sai Pallavi, celebrated for her naturalistic and impactful acting, has carved a niche in the industry by choosing substantial roles over mere glamour. Known for her raw and realistic performances, she has consistently impressed audiences with her nuanced portrayals.
The ‘Amaran’ actress is now at a pivotal stage in her career, set to star in two highly anticipated pan-India projects. One is Nitesh Tiwari’s epic Ramayana, and the other is the eagerly awaited sequel Kalki 2. According to close sources, Sai Pallavi has been finalized for the much-hyped Sumathi (Sum-80) role in Kalki 2, replacing Deepika Padukone. This character is expected to have a strong screen presence, making her portrayal central to the story, and all eyes are on how she delivers in this crucial role.
Meanwhile, she has already commenced shooting for the divine character of Sita Devi in Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor. Taking on such an iconic role brings immense challenges, as audiences and critics expect a career-defining performance, irrespective of her past achievements.
While initial announcements of her involvement in both projects sparked some backlash, critics are confident that Sai Pallavi’s talent will silence all doubts. By appearing in two mythological fantasy films inspired by Indian epics—Ramayana and Mahabharata—she is poised to achieve a rare feat in Indian cinema.
