Anthuleni Katha Daily Serial – E163 – 21st Aug

Following the underwhelming box office performance of his recent film “Family Star,” Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda finds himself in need of a major commercial success. This has reignited fan anticipation for his much-anticipated collaboration with director Sukumar, which was announced several years ago.

The potential reunion between Deverakonda and Sukumar has been a topic of fervent discussion, particularly during a recent event promoting Vijay’s brother Anand Deverakonda’s upcoming film “Gam Gam Ganesha.” While the collaboration was confirmed to be in development, Sukumar’s packed schedule presents a significant hurdle.

Currently, Sukumar is engrossed in directing the highly anticipated sequel, “Pushpa 2,” and has already announced plans for “Pushpa 3” alongside another project starring Ram Charan titled “RC17.” These commitments will likely force Deverakonda to wait a considerable period before their project materializes.

However, the excitement surrounding a Sukumar-Deverakonda collaboration remains undeniable. Fans fondly remember their previous collaboration on the critically acclaimed “Arjun Reddy,” and believe a reunion could recapture that magic, propelling Deverakonda back to the forefront of Telugu cinema.

Despite the wait, Deverakonda’s future holds promise. He has a slate of exciting projects lined up, including collaborations with directors Gautam Tinnanuri under Sitara Entertainments, Ravi Kiran Kola under Dil Raju productions, and Rahul Sankrityan for a period drama. These ventures ensure Deverakonda remains busy while fans patiently await news of his much-anticipated collaboration with Sukumar.
