Despite the fact that he happens to be a very talented actor and did some side-kick roles in recent times, senior hero Srikanth failed to click with the audiences. Though he tried villainy with a couple of films, none have actually noticed him. But now, he got this mega opportunity to showcase his prowess.
Like how Jagapathi Babu turned into full-time villainy with Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Legend movie, now Srikanth is said to be focussing on doing the same. For the upcoming film of Balayya under Boyapati’s direction, the talented hero is not only growing his rugged beard but wants to make sure that he will terrorise Telugu audiences with the kind of show he puts upon. Even the director and hero are surprised by the kind of dedication he is putting on.
After the success of Legend, actually Jagapathi Babu got a huge break. While he never took home a crore as a hero, he took more than 2 crores for his villainy in some big stars’ movies. So Srikanth is also said to be treading in the same path at the moment, expecting a similar result. Hope he gets it.
