Satya Dev’s Rao Bahadur is now out in theatres. The psychological drama is directed by Venkatesh Maha. Today, the makers held the success meet in Hyderabad, where Venkatesh Maha made interesting remarks.

“Most of the time, the issues in a film’s second half are actually the issues of the first half. Only when there are hiccups in the first act, the second half won’t work well. We frequently hear about second-half syndrome in Telugu cinema. We hear about many films where the first half is excellent, and the second half is dull. I found the trick to overcome the second-half syndrome,” said Venkatesh Maha.

“People are saying that the second half is excellent and the climax is superb. That happened because I included the necessary elements in the first half,” he concluded.
