Tollywood

and
directed
by
Koratala
Siva

Tiger’
Jr
NTR,

their
Tollywood

the
movie
is
one

the
highly-awaited
and
most
prestigious
films
going
to
be
released
this
year.

Devara
Advance
Bookings
Records

Jr
NTR’s
action
entertainer
set
a
record
worldwide
with
its
pre-sales
bookings,
especially
in
the
northern
USA
even
before
the
trailer
was
released.

Did
Koratala
Siva
Take
A
Dig
At
His
Previous
Senior
Actor?

In
the
Devara
Fun
&
Fierce
interview
where
Jr
NTR
and
Koratala
spoke
at
length
and
detail
with
Vishwak
Sen
and
Siddhu
Jonnalagadda,
the
49-year-old
filmmaker
indirectly
took
a
dig
at
those
involved
with
his
previous
film
Acharya.
He
said,
“If
everyone
sticks
to
their
job
and
doesn’t
put
fingers
or
heads
into
other
people’s
business,
it
is
the
most
peaceful
and
dedication
one
can
show.
If
that
happens,
things
flow
smoothly.”

In
many
such
previous
incidents,
megastar
Chiranjeevi,
who
earned
a
massive
flop
along
with
his
son,
Ram
Charan,
in
the
form
of
Acharya,
openly
ridiculed
the
film’s
director
for
not
listening
to
seniors.
In
the
success
meet
of
‘Waltair
Veerayya,’
Chiranjeevi
mentioned
that
the
results
would
be
like
this
(indicating
the
massive
worldwide
collection
of
the
movie)
if
directors
listen
and
take
inputs
from
senior
actors
who
are
in
the
industry
for
a
long
time.” Fans
are
wondering
if
Koratala
Siva
tried
to
counter
these
remarks
made
against
him.

On
the
other
hand,
Koratala
Siva
slipped
into
a
period
of
severe
struggle
and
deprivation
due
to
the
losses
incurred
by
Acharya.
He
also
had
to
deal
with
the
distributors
and
settle
financial
scores.
