Sukumar has always evolved as a director, reinventing himself with each project. He began his career with romantic and youthful films, but with 1 Nenokkadine, he shifted toward more sophisticated narratives. His film Nannaku Prematho marked a move into class-oriented and action-driven cinema. The game-changer, however, was Rangasthalam, where Sukumar embraced mass appeal with a rural backdrop.
With Pushpa, Sukumar took mass cinema to another level, introducing the iconic character Pushparaj, his most mass-oriented protagonist yet. His next venture, signed with Ram Charan, promises a stark contrast to Rangasthalam and Pushpa. This film is expected to feature large-scale action sequences, aiming to captivate global audiences.
This shift will bring a refreshing change for both Sukumar and Ram Charan. While Ram Charan is currently working on a film with a rural setting directed by Buchi Babu, Sukumar’s upcoming film will offer a new dimension to the actor’s repertoire. Ram Charan’s project with Buchi Babu is expected to wrap up by the year’s end, after which Sukumar’s film will begin production.
