Road Ahead Looks Bleak for Star Writer
In an attempt at a comeback, Vamsi recently helmed his second film, "Extra Ordinary Man," featuring Nithin.
Vakkantham Vamsi, once a celebrated star writer known for penning hit films, transitioned into directing with Allu Arjun's "Na Peru Surya," which unfortunately turned out to be a box-office disappointment. The star writer started his career as an actor, television presenter, and then as a writer. His collaborations with director Surender Reddy have been highly successful in the past.
In an attempt at a comeback, Vamsi recently helmed his second film, "Extra Ordinary Man," featuring Nithin. Regrettably, the comedy caper has met a similar fate at the box office, marking Vakkantam Vamsi's second consecutive flop.
The film's lackluster performance is not only affecting Nithin's track record but is also casting a shadow on Vamsi's directorial career. But, Nithiin has already lined up a couple of films with which he would move on quickly, and the trade says that his remuneration is unaffected, too.
But with two back-to-back failures, Vakkantam Vamsi is facing challenges in living up to the expectations set for him. Industry insiders now suggest that he should refocus on crafting compelling stories and direct his third film with a medium-range hero.
The road ahead for Vakkantham Vamsi remains uncertain, and the industry keenly observes how he navigates his career in the aftermath of these disappointments.
