Excerpt: Srikanth Odela’s unconventional approach to his film projects has left industry insiders intrigued. Unlike many aspiring directors who often have a plethora of script ideas ready, Srikanth has taken a different route.
Srikanth Odela rose to prominence in the Telugu film industry, due to his exceptional work behind the scenes in Sukumar’s blockbuster film, Rangasthalam. Sukumar, who serves as Srikanth’s mentor and a renowned director himself, publicly praised Srikanth’s contributions during the pre-release event of Rangasthalam.
Srikanth embarked on his directorial journey with his debut film, Dasara, which hit screens earlier this year to much acclaim. The film garnered positive reviews and witnessed strong box office openings. Notably, Dasara also marked a career-high in terms of collections for actor Nani. This successful debut established Srikanth as a promising young director.
Dasara is an action-packed revenge drama that marks the directorial debut of Srikanth Odela. The film boasts a talented ensemble cast featuring Nani, Keerthy Suresh, and Deekshith Shetty in prominent roles, supported by the likes of Shine Tom Chacko, Samuthirakani, Sai Kumar, and Poorna. Dasara scored a good hit with an engaging cinematic experience and with its blend of action, drama, and revenge plot.
Even before the release of Dasara, numerous established stars expressed their interest in collaborating with him. Following the film’s release, Srikanth received enticing offers from prominent actors within the industry. It’s worth noting that several stars requested him to present complete scripts for potential projects.
However, industry insiders have been surprised by the fact that Srikanth Odela has yet to provide full scripts for his projects. Typically, aspiring directors have an abundance of script ideas at their disposal, but Srikanth’s approach has raised eyebrows. It appears that the young director is keen on taking his time to craft something even more captivating than Dasara, aiming for an even bigger blockbuster hit in the future. This deliberate approach is generating curiosity and anticipation within the Telugu film industry about what Srikanth Odela’s next cinematic venture will bring to the screen.
