The Telugu film industry has always been home to a diverse range of talented filmmakers, each bringing their unique style and vision to the screen. However, despite the constant influx of new directors, some established filmmakers have found themselves off the radar in recent years. These directors, once known for their distinctive storytelling and hit films, have not been able to maintain their momentum in the industry, leaving fans and industry insiders wondering about their next move. Here is a look at some of these filmmakers who have been missing from the scene for a while now.
1. Chandrashekar Yeleti
Chandrashekar Yeleti made a significant mark in the Telugu film industry with films like Aithe, Anukokunda Oka Roju, and Okkadunnadu. Known for his unique narrative style and innovative approach to filmmaking, Yeleti earned critical acclaim for his works. However, after his last film, Check (2021), which starred Nithiin, Yeleti has been absent from the director’s chair. Despite the success of his earlier works, he has yet to announce his next project, leaving many to wonder when his next directorial venture will hit the screens.
2. Krishna Vamshi
One of the most prolific filmmakers in Tollywood, Krishna Vamshi was known for delivering films that resonated deeply with audiences, such as Criminal, Kshana Kshanam, and Rakhi. Despite his impressive body of work, he has struggled to maintain a consistent hit streak in recent years. His last release, Ranga Marthanda (2023), failed to make an impact at the box office, which led to the film being labeled a disaster. Since then, Krishna Vamshi has not announced any new projects, leaving fans hopeful for his return to form.
3. Vamshi Paidipally
Vamshi Paidipally rose to fame with films like Brindavanam, Yevadu, and the super-hit Maharshi (2019). However, after the success of Maharshi, the director has remained relatively silent. In 2023, he ventured into Tamil cinema with Varisu, but there has been no update regarding his next Telugu film. Despite his strong track record, the lack of announcements about his next directorial project has raised questions about his future plans in the Telugu film industry.
4. Surender Reddy
Known for his high-octane films like Athanokkade, Kick, and Race Gurram, Surender Reddy has been a key figure in Telugu commercial cinema. However, his career took a hit with the 2023 release of Akhil, which failed to make a mark at the box office. Since then, there has been no update on his next project. Fans of Surender Reddy are eagerly waiting for an official announcement, hoping that he can reclaim his spot among Tollywood’s top directors.
5. Srikanth Addala
Srikanth Addala initially rose to fame with his critically acclaimed films Kotha Bangaru Lokam and Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. These films made a significant impact, and Addala was considered one of the promising filmmakers in the industry. However, his last film, Pedakapu 1 (2023), was a flop, and since then, there has been no news about Pedakapu 2 or any other projects in the pipeline. Addala’s absence from the director’s chair has left his fans wondering if he will bounce back with another hit in the near future.
6. Parasuram
Parasuram’s Geetha Govindam was a massive hit, grossing over 100 crores, and positioned him as one of the emerging stars in Tollywood. He followed it up with Sarkaru Vaari Paata (2022), which starred Superstar Mahesh Babu. However, the film’s performance at the box office did not meet expectations, which led to a setback in Parasuram’s career. Despite the potential shown by his previous successes, Parasuram has not announced any new projects, leaving fans wondering when he will return to filmmaking.
7. Other Notable Filmmakers
Apart from these directors, there are several others, such as Kishore Tirumala, Shiva Nirvana, and Meher Ramesh, who have also been conspicuously absent from the industry. These directors, who had promising careers with hits like Nenu Sailaja, Majnu, and Billa, have not made any announcements regarding their next ventures, leaving the audience eagerly awaiting news of their return.
The Telugu film industry continues to evolve, and while these directors have had their share of success, their absence has left a noticeable void. Fans are hopeful that these filmmakers will soon return to the big screen with new projects that can reignite their careers and bring fresh stories to Tollywood.
