Let's be blunt. Vennela Kishore has been a thorough disappointment in recent years. How many of you remember his gags from recent movies? He was extremely funny in 'Jathi Ratnalu', but the movie had him in an extended cameo. He was hilarious in 'Samajavaragamana'.
The talented comedian has relied on two films to catapult his career to the next phase. And, in both films, he is the male lead. One of them (read ‘Chaari 111’) has already been released. It has failed to generate any buzz even on OTT.
Vennela Kishore is now banking on ‘Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes’, the other film in which he is the 'hero'. Starring Ananya Nagella as the heroine, the film is slated to hit the screens soon.
The success of this film is what Vennela Kishore badly needs so that some of the recent setbacks stand undone. ‘Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes’ needs to be original, for only original comedies are making the cut at the box office in the post-pandemic era. Let's wait what the film has in store for Kishore.
