Roshan Kanakala, son of popular television anchor Suma Kanakala and actor Rajeev Kanakala, made his acting debut with Bubblegum. Unfortunately, the film failed to create an impact at the box office or earn favorable reviews.

It was widely reported that Suma Kanakala invested her own money to launch her son. While Bubblegum did not recover its costs, such financial backing is often viewed as a natural part of supporting a child’s entry into the film industry.

Roshan was later given a second opportunity, this time under the banner of leading production house People Media Factory. Expectations were noticeably higher for his sophomore project Mowgli, especially as it was directed by Sandeep Raj, who had earned critical acclaim with Color Photo. The collaboration was seen as a potential turning point for the young actor.

However, like many filmmakers who face challenges with their second outing, Sandeep Raj could not replicate his earlier success. Mowgli ended up being an even bigger disappointment than Bubblegum, failing to connect with audiences despite strong production values and promotional backing.

With neither of his first two films yielding positive results, Roshan Kanakala now finds himself at a crucial juncture in his career. How he reassesses his choices and charts his next move remains to be seen.
