Krish not cashing in on ‘Uppena’ craze?

Vaisshnav Tej’s debut film Uppena is the biggest hit of the year thus far and he is already one of the busy actors in Tollywood. He recently launched his third film which will be helmed by Gireesayya who previously directed the Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy. BVSN Prasad is bankrolling this project.

Coming to the topic, Krish, for some strange reason is not willing to cash in on Uppena’s craze and hype.

It is known that Krish directed a rural drama featuring Vaisshnav and Rakul Preet Singh. This project was wrapped up even before Uppena hit the big screens.

After Uppena turned out to be a smashing success at the box office, everyone expected Krish to actively promote his next with Vaisshnav but that isn’t to be. There hasn’t been a single update on Vaisshnav – Krish project up until now.

In one of his recent interviews, Krish said his next with Vaisshnav is presently in post-production phase as the graphics and CGI works are taking more time than expected.

It is said that Krish’s next with Vaisshnav is a complete offbeat film with an unconventional plot. Now that Uppena is a blockbuster success, people would expect Vaisshnav’s next to have to all the commercial ingredients to cater to all sections of the audience. Krish is aware of the same and he knows that his rural drama with Vaisshnav doesn’t fall under this category. He wants to release the film only after all buzz and hype surrounding Uppena dies down.

So, Krish is said to be intentionally delaying the release of Vaisshnav Tej’s second film. Meanwhile, he is currently busy with Pawan Kalyan’s Hara Hara Veera Mallu which will be releasing next Sankranthi.
