Santosh Shoban who started his career in Tollywood as a child actor had started doing supporting roles and then became a lead actor. He was introduced to Tollywood with Golconda High School and he made a debut as a lead actor with Thanu Nenu in 2015. He acted in a bunch of films too.
But he failed to score a good hit yet. In his career spanning eight years, he appeared in six films and none of them succeeded. His latest outing Sridevi Shobanbabu hit the theatres the other day. But it got negative reviews from the audiences and not promoting the film is said to be the major reason behind the film not getting a good start.
Megastar Chiranjeevi’s daughter Sushmita bankrolled the film and despite this, the film was not promoted and this made Santosh Shoban face another flop. On top of this, Sridevi Shobanbabu has nothing new to offer as it tells us the story of the hero and heroine getting married and reuniting their broken families.
Santosh Shoban is a good actor and can emote well. But not selecting the right scripts is leaving a toll on him. He is unable to score a hit no matter if he works with a debut director or noted director.
He joined forces with director Maruthi, who is known for making entertaining films. But Manchi Rojulochaie failed to see box office success. Mehreen Pirzada played the leading lady in this.
The only relief he had in his career is Ek Mini Katha. Though the film was not released in theatres and had a direct OTT release, the film received a decent response from audiences. Merlapaka Gandhi gave an entertaining film with Ek Mini Katha.
Coming back to Sridevi Shoban Babu, it is helmed by debut director Prasanth Kumar Dimmala and Sushmita Konidela bankrolled the film under the Gold Box Entertainments banner. Gouri Kishan played the leading lady in the film and shared the screen solace with Santosh Sobhan. They played cousins in the film that has an ensemble cast of Rohini Molleti, Naga Babu, Moin, and others. Kamran scored the music.
