WHERE IS DIRECTOR SV.KRISHNA REDDY.?

S.V.KrishnaReddy the renowned director who entertained the audience with his family entertainment films leading as a captain in all departments, be it direction, Screenwriting, Music Composer, and Producer. and a brief stint as an Actor is at present only seen in Audio Releases and award Functions totally distancing away from films.

90’s was a successful era, with SV Krishna Reddy’s films being the buzz of the town, his entertainment elements, Human Emotions, his Love story integrated to Indian embedded atmosphere created a milestone in his career films like Rajendrudu Gajendrudu,(1993), SubhaLagnam (1994), , Ghatothkachudu (1995), Maavichiguru (1996), Vinodam (1996), Egire Paavurama (1997), Ahvanam (1997) , Pelli Peetalu (1998), Premaku Velayara (1999), Sakutumba Saparivaara Sametham (2000), Premaku Swagatham(2002), Pellam Oorelithe (2003),

Our Heartful Gratitude to S.V. KrishnaReddy the ace director who tuned the careers of Present Stars in Rajendra Prasad, Ali, Srikanth, Jagapathi Babu to be a refined prodigies of Telugu Film Industry, Its is very sad our Telugu Film Industry ignoring such a stalwart who is deprived of another chance, due to the advent of talented young directors well equipped with the latest technology, and taste of the present era, but his sculpting of roles can’t be aped or shown even at present without his Midas touch.

SV Krishnareddy received Nandi Awards for his films Subhalagnam (1994), Ahvanam (1997), SahakutumbaSahaparivara Sametham (2001), and Film Fare Best Director Award for Subhalagnam (1994)

But from 2002 SV. KrishnaReddy fame slowly started to decline due to stereotyped stories and unable to adapt to the taste of the Present Audience and his films faded away as his presence in Telugu films and an end to the era of Family Oriented Subjects.
Even Producers who followed a beeline to get the nod of a Successful busy director started distancing him due to present trend.
If Producers once again come forward with a good concept to rope in the talented director, he would definitely do justice in giving us a good output.

S.V.Krishna Reddy also served as Member at Telugu Film Directors Association, Directors Guild of America.

It was not easy for Mahesh Babu to keep the Stardom intact , with every failure he strongly staged a comeback to hit the bulls eye at box office collections.

Even with Child hood roles in his early stint with Telugu Cinema, that only quenched Mahesh Babus thirst for passion and not profession.
When he made his debut under Legendary director K. Raghavendra Rao’s Rajakumaradu opposite Bollywood Queen Preety Zinta, people only recognized him to be a chocolate hero promoted by Telugu Doyen Krishna
.
Rajakumarudu earned Mahesh Babu success but not recognition , followed by string of flops in his Kitty be it Yuvaraju, Takkari Donga, Vamsy and Bobby not until Krishna Vamsi boosted him with a Successful Murari that was the turning point for him to stage a comeback.

But with Gunashekhars Block buster hit Okadu he rose to touch the Portrait of Stardom, but followed Flop Charts striking his blurry vision of choosing scripts and fans slowly started to term “End to an Illustrious Career ”

The year 2004-2010 saw Mahesh Babu recover from his Scars, Courtesy his Lady Luck in the form of wife Namrata Shirodkar with Trivikram Srinivas Athadu and Puri Jagannaths Pokii hitting the bulls eye raking huge profits for Producers ad Distributors and staying as biggest Hits in Mahesh Babus Career.

The inspiring journey of Mahesh Babu from being a star’s son to super star

Mahesh Babu, the name is just enough to remind anyone in India of the tall and every young super star of our Tollywood. Although he has never been a direct part of movies of any other industry, he as an actor is famous across the nation and not to forget how most Bollywood actresses mention his name when asked about their favorite star down south. But was it all a cake walk? A definite no! Being the son of yester-generation’s super star Krishna and having ravishing looks weren’t just enough to bring him success. All the worked was PERSEVERANCE! Yes, here’s a look into the inspiring journey of Mahesh Babu:

Filmy Background and easy debut:
As the son of Krishna, film was a passion he had since his childhood. At a very tender age of 4, he made his film debut under Dasari Narayana Rao. After that he did a couple of movies as a child actor before going for his further studies. From Gudachari 117 to Bala Chandrudu, most of his movies were commercially successful, but yet he was still under the shadow of being Krishna’s son.

Debut as a hero:
In 1999 he debuted as a hero in Raja Kumarudu, after which he got the name of Prince. Under the director of Raghvendra Rao, the movie had Priety Zinta as the other lead. This debut was the only thing that came easily to him. If there was anything that his father’s reputation made easier for him, it is undoubtedly only his easy debut.

The weak phase:
Right from Rajakumarudu, none of his movies that followed were commercial hits. Except for his well-acclaimed performance in Murari, most of his initial films failed at the box office creating a black period in his career. Yuvaraju, Takkari Donga, Vamsy and Bobby were all rejected at the box-office. Never taken aback by these failures, Mahesh took time to retrospect and went forward with the next project.

Finding his love:
His love story with Namrata, whom he met on the sets of Vamsy is completely adorable. It was probably this decision that helped in the making of a super star!

Bulls Eye with Okkadu:
Not many bounce back after continuous failures. Mahesh amazed everyone with not just a comeback, but also industry records! Made under the direction of Gunashekar, Okkadu was the biggest blockbusters of the year and set many records. This movie also paved the path of starhood to Mahesh Babu.

Back to pavilion again:
Expectations were quite high on him after Okkadu. But wrong choices made him get back to pavilion again. Although Athadu is a movie enjoyed even today, it was commercially a flop. So were Nijam and Arjun. Gosspimongers even started calling him a flop hero.

Movie that made him the super star:
The release of Pokiri made him the star that he is. It was again the biggest hit of the industry and then there was no stopping further.

After that regardless of his movie being a hit or flop, he is always celebrated as a superstar and is the most bankable star of the generation. His journey of ups and downs are a great lesson to anyone who dreams big and fails at times to succeed finally.
