Some actors put more trust in writers than directors, believing strongly in their stories. They keep writers close to them and encourage them to create films with other directors. However, if a film fails, the director may feel there is a problem with the presentation, while the writer may believe the story was not the issue.
Ravi Teja is currently promoting a writer named Srikanth Vissa, who provided the story for his film Khiladi. Despite Ravi Teja praising the writer, the movie failed to connect with audiences and became a disaster. Srikanth Vissa also wrote the story for Ravi Teja's film Ravanasura, which received positive talk but also failed to connect with audiences in the long run.
Srikanth Vissa previously worked as a dialogue writer for the film Basanti, and provided the story for Raj Tarun's Kittu Unnadu Jagratha and Srivishnu's Bhala Tandanana, both of which were also disasters. Currently, Srikanth Vissa is working on Kalyan Ram's Devil and Ravi Teja's Tiger Nageswara Rao. It remains to be seen whether he will finally deliver a hit for Ravi Teja with Tiger. Despite a failed track record, whether Ravi Teja's risky bet on this writer will work out is something that has to be seen keenly.
