Almost all A-list directors (perhaps with the exception of Rajamouli, Koratala Siva and Boyapati Sreenu) have had disastrous failures at the box office. Be it VV Vinayak, Sukumar, Trivikram Srinivas - they have all tasted failure. However, Srikanth Addala's damp squib has been the most ridiculed, mainly due to the penetration of social media. In an off-the-record conversation with journos, a producer recently said that he had evinced interest (before the Mahesh Babu disaster) in working with Addala, who lost the will to work with him after Brahmotsavam. That doesn't mean that Addala is out. He is only down.
Sources say that Addala is in talks with ace producer Dil Raju for a small-budgeted film. Dil Raju is one producer for whom other's failures don't mean the end of the world. He gave his all-weather associate Vasu Varma the chance to direct Krishnashtami despite the failure of Josh. He may just repeat it with Addala. Moreover, Dil Raju has grand plans to produce family-oriented movies on a banner to be set up for the purpose. All this could bode well for another Addala movie.
