Bad Boy Karthik, starring Naga Shaurya, has opened to a disappointing response at the box office. The film, which remained stuck in production for several years, finally released yesterday but was met with disastrous talk from audiences and critics alike.

Adding to the concerns, the makers are yet to lock a deal for the film’s OTT rights, which could have helped cushion the financial blow. With poor word of mouth and low occupancy, theatrical prospects already look bleak.

Given the long delay and mounting costs, the film now appears headed for significant losses, leaving the producers in a tough position with limited recovery avenues.

Ram Pothineni is reportedly taking a proactive step in his career after a series of setbacks at the box office in the last few years.

We have come to know that the actor has penned a story for himself and is now on the lookout for the right director to take charge of the project and bring his vision to life.

Instead of waiting for external scripts, Ram seems keen on shaping his own comeback with a subject he strongly believes in. Industry buzz suggests that he is in discussions with a few filmmakers, hoping to find someone who can align with his idea and elevate it on screen.
