Ajay Bhupathi’s Karna: Will It Revive His Career?

In the world of filmmaking, each project can be likened to a roller coaster ride-full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and the thrill of uncertainty. Ajay Bhupathi, known for making waves with his debut film *RX 100*, has certainly experienced his share of highs and lows. After the disappointing performance of *Maha Samudram*, Bhupathi found a much-needed breather with *Mangalavaram*. Now, as he gears up for his next venture, he seems determined to reclaim his position in the industry.

Initially, Bhupathi had plans to collaborate with Vikram's son, Dhruv, but that project has hit a standstill. Instead, he has now shifted his focus to a new film titled *Karna*, featuring the rising star Virat from *Pedakapu*. Reports indicate that the industry buzz suggests this story, originally intended for Dhruv, has been reimagined for Virat, who has given it the green light. With the potential for a release shortly after Diwali, *Karna* is poised to be an action-oriented film with a budget estimated between ₹30 to ₹40 crores. The project has officially kicked off, and fans are eagerly awaiting more details.

Virat's recent release, *Nagabandham*, has garnered attention, with a production budget of around ₹70 crores. While Bhupathi's previous work faced challenges, his decision to back *Karna* indicates a renewed confidence. The shooting for both *Karna* and Virat's upcoming projects is set to run in parallel, showcasing Bhupathi’s strategic approach to maximize momentum in his career. Interestingly, despite the flop of his initial movie *Pedakapu*, Virat seems to have managed to secure multiple film opportunities, with reports indicating that he has greenlit two more projects slated to begin in the first half of 2025.

In a landscape where every film has the potential to redefine a career, Ajay Bhupathi's latest venture could be the key to unlocking his next chapter. With *Karna* on the horizon, fans and industry insiders alike are keen to see if this action-packed narrative will be the ticket to a triumphant return for the filmmaker. As the project progresses, all eyes will be on Bhupathi to see if he can turn this new opportunity into a blockbuster success.
