Director Sampath Nandi became a big name in Tollywood after he scored a huge commercial success with his second film, Ram Charan’s ‘Racha’. He followed it up with Ravi Teja’s commercially viable film, ‘Bengal Tiger’. Even though he scored three consecutive hits as a director, his maiden attempt as a producer was a failure.
It is known that Sampath had floated his own banner named Sampath Nandi Creative Works and produced Aadi-starrer ‘Galipatam’ (2014) as his maiden venture. The film had story, screenplay and dialogues penned by Nandi himself. The bold themed film however tanked at box office.
Three years later, Sampath Nandi is all set to bankroll another film. Tilted ‘Paper Boy’, this film is also penned by Sampath himself. His assistant Jaya Shankar will make his directorial debut with this small-budget film starring Santosh Shoban and debutante Aishwarya Vhatkar in lead roles.
With his maiden production venture biting dust at box office, we need to see if this Racha director can bounce back in his second attempt.
Meanwhile, Sampath Nandi is currently busy with the post-production work of his latest directorial, ‘Gautam Nanda’ starring Gopichand, Hansika and Catherine Tresa.
