Being hailed as Tollywood’s top writer, Kona Venkat penned stories for ultra high budget entertainer Bruce Lee and gave dialogues and screenplay inputs for Akhil, also Kona penned the screenplay for horror-thriller Tripura and also written and produced the Friday release Shankarabharanam. In fact, Kona even gave himself the credit for ‘direction supervision’ in Shankarabharanam.
Now, all the 4 films released within a gap of less than two months and bombed heavily at the box-office. This got Kona’s brand value and reputation as a successful writer at a huge stake. Now, Kona’s back-to-back flops have got Balayya’s fans shivering. And the reason is the Sankranthi release Dictator, which has been penned by Kona Venkat.
During Shankarabharanam promotional interviews, Kona claimed that he will prove Tollywood that he can also write new-age scripts without using the done to death ‘making villains bakra’ plot. But Kona skipped his promise and used the same old plot for Shankarabharanam and critics panned him for such a routine screenplay for an interesting plot.
Now, Balayya fans are highly worried that Kona might have used the same routine template even for Dictator, which might push Dictator to a corner. Kona’s back-to-back disasters will also show a negative impact on the pre-release business of Dictator and Gopichand’s Soukhyam, opine the trade analysts.
