“There is no point in worrying that the story we’ve missed out became a super hit for some other hero, and celebrating in the story that we rejected has become a flop for another hero,” says hero Raj Tarun’s manager, popular character artiste Raja Ravindra.
In an interview, he revealed that both Raj Tarun and himself felt that Taxiwala story is bland as the film revolves only around the car, and has revenge drama all over the place will not work in theatres. But the film became super hit at the box office. “We felt both Taxiwala and Satamanam Bhavathi won’t work. Later we picked a story pitched by Maruthi, with superior confidence that it will become a super hit, but Rajugadu has failed big time,” said Raja Ravindra.
But he attributed things to luck as he added, “Raj Tarun hasn’t even listened to Kumari 21 F story but did that due to the combination (Sukumar, DSP and Ratnavelu) and it clicked well. So we can’t say which film works. Even those hits might not turn out hit films if Raj Tarun has done them”.
When it comes to missed out movies, the likes of Pawan Kalyan had Idiot, Raviteja had Pokiri, Jr NTR had Arya and many other heroes have many films.
