After the recent release of his comedy entertainer, Pandaga Chesko, Kona Venkat, the star writer of Tollywood, faced intense heat from critics and also film buffs who are thoroughly bored with his trademark confusing comedy plots and lack of innovative zing in his screenplays. The dissent was evident in the film reviews and on social media.
However, Kona fought back saying that he supplies what the audiences demand for and true to his defense, the film’s collections are steady even on weekdays. The star writer has now moved on to his next project, Nikhil starter Sankarabharanam, which he claims to be a crime comedy. Incidentally, Kona is also producing this film.
This is the writer’s first major stint in this new genre and it clearly explains his deviation from his safe zone of logic less comedies. This is definitely a welcoming move by the star writer, since this will encourage other popular and aspiring writers to follow suit. Apparently, Sankarabharanam will showcase real incidents of crime with a Bihar backdrop.
