Actor Priyadarshi made a few successful films like Balagam and the latest Court: State vs A Nobody. Those films were successful because of their story and script, and more than that, Priyadarshi played a character within those strong scripts. Even the latest Court film was a super success, where Priyadarshi played an important role. However, when he played as the lead, the actor couldn’t take on the full responsibility and he is not considered a crowd-puller, say some people in the industry.
Priyadarshi played the lead role in Darling, which turned out to be a huge disaster and the film was removed from theaters on the second day itself. Now, Priyadarshi again played the lead in the film Sarangapani Jathakam, which was released on Friday. However, the film opened with poor box office collections and even the second day’s performance was not encouraging. Indraganti Mohanakrishna is the director, while Sivalenka Krishna Prasad is the producer. Court became a super success partly because of Nani, who produced and aggressively promoted it. Nani even made a bold statement that people who didn’t like Court need not come to watch his Hit 3. Apart from all this, the script of Court was strong, which led to its success. Now, Priyadarshi needs scripts like that; he needs to think carefully when choosing films like Sarangapani Jathakam. Though Indraganti is a sensible director and many actors want to work with him, the story needs to be strong. However, when it comes to this film, the story is weak and only in the second half did the film manage to get a few laughs.
