Sukumar became a popular director across the nation due to the humongous success of ‘Pushpa’ but prior to the Allu Arjun starrer, he made another rustic rural drama which is a classic. It is none other than ‘Rangasthalam’ which came out in 2018 and became a blockbuster. It was a flawless film that took us back in time and made us realize the real potential of Sukumar as a mass director. Ram Charan was terrific in the role of sound engineer Chittibabu. Music by Devi Sri Prasad was phenomenal and so was the cinematography from Ratnavelu. The film received a few National Awards too and fans are eager for Charan and Sukumar to reunite again.
Rumors suggest that their wish might come true. According to rumor mills, Sukumar recently had a meeting with the ‘RRR’ hero and narrated a storyline that impressed the latter. He reportedly gave his nod to the plotline and Sukumar will be developing it into a full-length script soon.
