Sukumar’s career of genius film making turns 20!

On May 7, 2004, the Telugu film industry was revolutionized by a visionary director named Sukumar with his groundbreaking romantic comedy, ‘Arya’. This film marked the transformation of Allu Arjun into an icon of style and established Sukumar’s unique storytelling and aesthetic.

Sukumar’s second venture, ‘Jagadam’, was an action-packed narrative that showcased Ram Pothineni’s prowess as a mass hero. Sukumar’s talent for crafting impactful scenes without resorting to clichés was evident.

In ‘Arya 2’, Sukumar once again proved his mastery in evoking deep emotions through characterisations. ‘100% Love’, starring Naga Chaitanya, was a testament to Sukumar’s skill in creating a compelling journey for an imperfect protagonist.

With ‘1: Nenokkadine’, featuring Mahesh Babu, Sukumar delivered a sleek action film that broke the tradition of superstar movies. This approach was also apparent in ‘Nannaku Prematho’, starring NTR, which was lauded for its clever script.

‘Rangasthalam’, led by Ramcharan, is hailed as a masterpiece of Telugu cinema, offering a timeless experience that has multiple viewings due to its universal appeal.

The ‘Pushpa’ series has further cemented Sukumar’s status as a leading director in India. ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ garnered admiration from Hindi-speaking audiences in 2021, and its sequel, ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, is eagerly anticipated for its release on August 15.

Sukumar stands unrivaled in his exploration of character psyches and their journeys. His films consistently showcase technical brilliance. As a top-tier filmmaker, he commands immense respect for his intellectual approach to film writing and direction.
