Anthuleni Katha Daily Serial – E163 – 21st Aug

Allari Naresh, a comedic force behind Telugu blockbusters like “Kitakitalu,” “Seema Sastri,” and “Athili Sattibabu LKG,” has seen a string of flops with his recent ventures.

Films like “Silly Fellows,” “Bangaru Bullodu,” “Naandhi,” and “Ugram” haven’t lived up to expectations. Citing a lack of strong scripts, Naresh seems to be taking matters into his own hands.

Naresh’s upcoming film, “Aa Okkati Adakku,” directed by Malli Ankam and co-starring Faria Abdullah, is a message-driven comedy-drama. During the trailer launch event at AAA Cinemas in Hyderabad, Naresh made a surprising announcement. He revealed that he has begun writing the script for “Sudigadu 2,” the sequel to his highly successful 2012 film “Sudigadu.” This news adds another Telugu sequel to the ever-growing list.

Naresh’s decision to write reflects a proactive approach to finding strong narratives. Whether this gamble pays off and breaks his flop streak remains to be seen. But with “Aa Okkati Adakku” and the potential “Sudigadu 2” on the horizon, audiences can expect a renewed focus on quality content from the Telugu comedy star.
