It is a huge achievement to score a blockbuster with debut film as a director. Young filmmaker Buchi Babu Sana achieved it with ‘Uppena’ which grossed over 100 crores at the box-office. Though many factors came in favour of this love story, it is Buchi Babu’s touching and emotional narration that stood as the backbone for its success. ‘Uppena’ made Buchi Babu a hot property among the heroes and producers of Tollywood.
This young director has narrated a script to NTR and it is rumored to be based on a local sport. Buchi Babu Sana wished NTR on his birthday and made a special tweet hinting at their possible union. But NTR has to complete ‘RRR’ at the moment and he will join hands with his ‘Janatha Garage’ director Koratala Siva. By the time this film gets completed, Prasanth Neel will wrap up ‘Salaar’ and start working with Tarak. This means that Buchi Babu has to wait for another two years to start his project with the Nandamuri star hero.
NTR is yet to give a green signal to Buchi Babu and the ‘Uppena’ director is fine-tuning his script so that he leaves NTR with no option other than giving his nod. Mythri Movie Makers who bankrolled Buchi’s first film will be producing his second film with NTR too. As we all know, Buchi Babu has the support of his mentor-star director Sukumar but the latter himself is completely immersed in his upcoming pan-Indian project ‘Pushpa’ which will be released in two parts. There is a talk that Buchi Babu is currently helping Sukumar with ‘Pushpa’ as his second film is yet to be confirmed. Let us wait and see what happens.
Interestingly, Mythri Movie Makers are the ones who are producing NTR’s upcoming film under the direction of Prasanth Neel. They are the ones who produced ‘Uppena’ and locked in Buchi Babu Sana for another film. It is expected to be with NTR and if it happens, the renowned production house will be making two films with Tarak back-to-back. They already produced his blockbuster film ‘Janatha Garage’ in the past.
