TB Special: Lady directors giving a tough fight to young directors

Apart from Nandini Reddy, now and then we had female directors attempting to make a mark in the Telugu film industry but they haven’t been successful. Padmavati who worked as one of the writers for Mahanati has been narrating stories to heroines as she has a heroine centric subject.

Wise choice because these days heroes don’t trust lady directors. Nivetha Thomas has reportedly agreed to do the film. Next is Sowjanya, who is ready with the script and all pre-production in place as Naga Shourya agreed to do the film for Sitara Entertainments, which is launched recently.

Sesha Sindhura’s Chusi Chudangane verdict is out and the film flopped. Sanjana Reddy was unsuccessful in giving Raj Tarun a hit in AK Entertainments, she is unlikely to get a second chance in the industry soon. There are two sisters who are planning to make a movie and approached Sai Korrapati. Pre-production began but the producer shelved the project at that initial stage.

Chuniya continues to be Nagarjuna’s favourite and he continues to give her chance to direct web series despite she delivering a big flop on the big screen.Telugu director Sudha Kongara had moved on to directing Tamil heroes. She is reportedly Silk Smitha’s doctor boyfriend/guardian’s daughter.
