This Friday, director Teja’s ‘Ahimsa,’ which stars Rana’s younger brother Abhiram Daggubati, was released in theaters. The film received only negative reviews.
The average ratings were in the range of 1/5 to 1.5/5.
Even worse was the word-of-mouth. Teja’s narration and direction were both criticized. Critics claimed that Abhiram lacked both looks and acting abilities.
Teja is a veteran. He has introduced many actors to the Telugu film industry over the last 20 years. However, in his two-decade career, only ‘Chitram,’ ‘Nuvvu Nenu,’ ‘Jayam,’ and ‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’ were successful ventures, while others were flops.
Will Teja make a comeback with his next film, starring Rana? Teja now intends to produce films that will feature new directors.
