Krishna Vamsi who was once a top director in Tollywood has been struggling to make successful films over the past decade. He took a long gap after ‘Nakshatram’ and came up with ‘Rangamarthanda’ which won a lot of praise but ended up being a huge commercial failure. The director once delivered superb movies like ‘Ninne Pelladatha’, ‘Khadgam’, ‘Murari’ and others.
Especially, ‘Khadgam’ created a sensation as no one in Tollywood would have dared to make such a movie at that time. People still watch it and many scenes are etched in our minds. There are many realistic scenes and some of them ended up being controversial too. Recently, Krishna Vamsi spoke about ‘Khadgam’ movie and shared some interesting details.
At that time, many thought that 30 Years Prudhvi’s character is based on Nandamuri Balakrishna which made his fans very angry but the director clarified that it is not based on anyone. He said that he faced a lot of heat due to that role unnecessarily. He commented that Raghavendra Rao and Bapu are his inspirations when it comes to presenting heroines.
There were reports that Krishna Vamsi is going to director Balakrishna’s 100th film and the title ‘Raitu’ went viral as well. They even planned on bringing Amitabh Bachchan on board for the president role. But things did not materialize and the project was shelved. Krishna Vamsi is yet to start his next film and people are waiting for a strong comeback from this fantastic director.
