Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas is set to entertain audiences with the horror thriller Kishkindhapuri. The movie, also starring Anupama Parameswaran, is scheduled to release this Friday. During Kishkindhapuri promotions, Sreenivas opened up about the underperformance of his recent release, Bhairavam, which was a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Garudan.
“Bhairavam’s story excited me immensely. But at the end of the day, it was a remake. The media labelled it as a remake in every article. I won’t say they were wrong. It’s a fact that Bhairavam was a remake, and hence it couldn’t excite the audience enough to buy a ticket. While signing the project, I thought many here wouldn’t have watched the original film. But my calculation went completely wrong,” stated the Jaya Janaki Nayaka actor.
However, Bellamkonda Sreenivas doesn’t regret doing the film. He added that Bhairavam gave him scope to prove himself as a performer and showed that he could pull off a mass role set against a rural backdrop. The actor is now confident that Kishkindhapuri will strike a chord with the audience. Let’s see if that happens.
