Varun Tej Takes Another Risk
His recent film Korean Kanakaraju gave him some relief, but he appears ready to take another unexpected step.
Varun Tej has been trying different types of films in recent years. After facing a series of disappointing results, the actor is now looking for projects that can bring him back into the success track. His recent film Korean Kanakaraju gave him some relief, but he appears ready to take another unexpected step.
According to the latest reports, Varun Tej may soon work with Tamil filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj. The reported project is said to be a romantic drama. If the film happens, it will be a fresh choice for both the actor and the director.
Karthik Subbaraj is mainly known for making stylish films with strong action, unusual characters and interesting storytelling. His movies often have a different presentation and a unique atmosphere. A complete romantic story from him would therefore be something new for his fans. Also his recent films haven't performed well.
The connection between Varun Tej and Karthik Subbaraj is also interesting. Subbaraj wrote the original Jigarthanda, which was later remade in Telugu as Gaddalakonda Ganesh. Varun Tej played the lead role in the Telugu version, which was directed by Harish Shankar. Subbaraj received story credit for the original film.
However, the reported romantic project is still in the discussion stage. There is no official confirmation from Varun Tej or Karthik Subbaraj yet. More details about the story, heroine and production team are also not known at this point.
Varun Tej already has other projects in his lineup. He is expected to work on Bhari, a sports drama directed by Yadhu Vamsee. The film is being produced by his sister Niharika Konidela.
For Varun Tej, choosing a romantic drama after trying several genres could be a calculated risk. At the same time, working with a filmmaker like Karthik Subbaraj could give him a completely different screen image. If the project becomes official, it will certainly create curiosity among Telugu and Tamil cinema audiences.
