Nani, touted as Tollywood’s “minimum guarantee hero,” built up a reputation for getting them to theaters irrespective of the pre-release buzz or the reviews that the film might receive upon opening. He carved a niche for himself with his unique style, more so with family audiences, and emerged as a consistent performer who never failed to deliver an entertaining film. While “Dasara” and “Hi Nanna” back-to-back emerged as gigantic blockbusters, the stardom of Nani increased further in the past one year.
With 2024 coming into place, Nani is all geared up for continuity in his streak of success. He is currently doing Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. The film is directed by Vivek Athreya. This movie has piqued many a curiosity with the peaks and teasers, raising all the right amounts of excitement amongst fans and critics alike. Whereas their earlier collaboration, a film titled “Ante Sundaraniki,” evoked poor responses, with this current venture, Nani and Vivek are in dire need of a hit.
What is most surprising is that director Vivek Athreya is behind ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’, an out-and-out popular entertainer; he has been known for much subtler and softer cinema. With teasers and trailers, one could see the surprising intensity and mass appeal; the stakes are elevated, and great expectations have been created for the picture. There is a belief that the pre-release event, slated for August 24, will further create enthusiasm.
The lady protagonist of the film is played by Priyanka Arul Mohan while SJ Surya plays the role of an antagonist. The producer of ‘RRR’, Danayya DVV, who is a supporter of this initiative itself lends credibility to the initiative. With so much expectation around the film already, its digital rights have been picked up by Netflix for an astounding amount of Rs 45 crores. This is an outstanding achievement. The belief that has been instilled in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’s ability to be a huge hit can be gauged by the fact that such a big deal was locked. “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,” which is going to be released on August 29, is the biggest-budget film Nani has ever used in his career. Much has been spoken about this film, for it has a powerhouse ensemble, an inventive director, and the undeniable star power of Nani. Everyone is looking forward to seeing if it duplicates the success of his previous hits.
