Nani’s Saripodha Sanivaram Sparks Debate Over Vivek Athreya’s Directorial Evolution
Nani’s upcoming film Saripodha Sanivaram is generating significant buzz in the film industry, particularly regarding the directorial shift undertaken by Vivek Athreya. The film’s trailer, released yesterday, has sparked discussions about Athreya’s evolution as a filmmaker.
Vivek Athreya, known for his work on crime comedies and romantic dramas such as Mental Madilo and Ante Sundaraniki, is making a notable departure with Saripodha Sanivaram. This film marks his first foray into the mass-action genre, and the trailer reflects a dramatic shift in style. It features intense action sequences and showcases SJ Surya in a menacing role as the antagonist. This bold move by Athreya is a significant departure from his previous works and has become a focal point of conversation in the industry.
Nani’s portrayal of a character with dual shades adds depth to the film’s narrative, which is driven by a gripping storyline and intense drama. The emphasis on story-telling and character development highlights Athreya’s attempt to broaden his directorial range. Despite previous criticisms of his work on Ante Sundaraniki, Athreya has chosen to step out of his comfort zone to prove his versatility.
If Saripodha Sanivaram succeeds, it could potentially open new opportunities for Athreya, including collaborations with top-tier stars in Telugu cinema. Nani’s support and encouragement have been instrumental in allowing Athreya the creative freedom to explore this new genre.
Produced by DVV Danayya, Saripodha Sanivaram is set for release on August 29, 2024. The film’s success could mark a turning point in Athreya’s career and redefine his place in the industry.
