Sukumar In Relax Mode: What Next?

It is an established fact that maverick director, Sukumar to take a long time to start his next project after finishing a film. We have seen how deeply he thinks about the story and how much effort he puts into designing every scene with perfection.

His meticulous approach is one of the reasons why his films stand out. However, Pushpa 2 took a toll on him, especially in the last six months before its release, when he was under immense pressure.

After the film’s release, Sukumar has mostly stayed away from promotions and has not actively engaged in discussions about his next project. Sources close to him reveal that he hasn’t even started working on the script for his upcoming film with Ram Charan.

He hasn’t brainstormed a story idea, conducted research, or held discussions with his team. Instead, he has been taking time to rest and recover from the exhaustion caused by Pushpa 2.

During the pre-release event of Pushpa 2, it was evident that Sukumar was physically drained. This was further highlighted at the Game Changer US event when he jokingly said that if he had to give up something, it would be making films. While he may not actually step away from filmmaking, he is certainly not in a hurry to start his next project. His priority right now is to regain his health and take a well-deserved break.

Apart from resting, Sukumar is also overseeing the projects of his assistants under the Sukumar Writings banner. As for his film with Ram Charan, it seems unlikely that he will begin working on it anytime soon. Since Charan is currently busy with Buchi Babu’s film, which will take at least a year to complete, Sukumar might not start scripting his film for another six months.
