Balayya has in the past few years chosen films having powerful titles like Legend, Simha, Dictator, Lion, Adhinayakudu etc. No one is sure if he has paid as much attention to thee stories as to the titles because barring a few, all of these powerful titles resulted in duds at box office. It seems that Balayya is currently toying with another powerful title, ‘Sarvabhouma’.
During the promotions of his latest film GPSK, Balayya reiterated that he would henceforth do only content driven films and not fall in the trap of mass films with unconvincing dialogues and fights. Staying true to his words, he is yet to sign a film even though experienced directors like Krishna Vamsi, KS Ravi Kumar, P Vasu etc. have narrated stories to him.
The latest we hear is that Satya Deva who made his directorial debut with Balayya’s ‘Lion’ has registered ‘Sarvabhouma’ title with Film Chamber and is planning to make an action entertainer starring Balayya.
A senior hero like Balayya giving a chance to a debut director was surprising but Balayya somehow believed in the subject. In the end, critics opined that the basic point of ‘Lion’ was interesting but the inexperienced director narrated the film in a tedious manner and caused it to become a flop.
Now, the ‘Sarvabhouma’ title looks too powerful to be missed. If Balayya decides to do this film, he needs to ensure there was a decent subject and also make sure if Satya Deva can handle it or not. Post GPSK, Balayya’s craze has reached another level and he needs to be cautious to not lose it.
