After the demise of legend Dasari Narayana Rao it is natural to talk about the masterpieces he had made such as Premabhishekam, Meghasandesham, Osey Ramulamma, Thatha Manavadu etc. But, what about the films that he intended to make but failed to do so.
A film in the combination of Dasari and Pawan Kalyan was announced a few years ago. Dasari later clarified that he would only produce the film and choose a potential director. It was rumored that Trivikram would direct this project. Somehow, the project never materialized and Pawan got busy with other commitments.
After the demise of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in December last year, Dasari expressed his wish of making a biopic on her. He later divulged to media that he was writing the script and would make a formal announcement when he is done with scripting. He was reportedly considering Anushka to reprise Jayalalithaa.
He also planned to make the epic Mahabharata in four parts. The script work had been in progress. Dasari wanted to make a film titled ‘Son’ with his son Arun Kumar as hero, in order to revive his career. The title was also registered at Film Chamber.
Unfortunately, he succumbed to age-related ailments before he could make any of the above projects. His last directorial, ‘Erra Bus’ (2014) was a washout at box office. It would have been fitting if he had ended his achievement-filled career with a success.
