The movie, which starred Mahesh Babu in the lead role, was a unique experiment in the Telugu film industry. While it didn’t perform well commercially in India, it gained a significant following in the United States, where it became a cult hit.
At a recent event, Sukumar shared heartfelt comments that have since gone viral. He said, "If the US audience hadn't supported 1: Nenokkadine, I wouldn't have gotten another opportunity to direct another movie. It was because of your support that I was able to continue my journey. I will always be indebted to you."
Later Sukumar became one of the top pan India directors with his recent Pushpa Franchise starring Allu Arjun. Sukumar is currently busy working on a highly anticipated project with script work that would probably star global star Ram Charan.
