In the trailer for Srinivasa Mangapuram, the violence inflicted by the hero (debutant Jai Krishna Ghattamaneni) on the baddies is brutal. A lover boy gone berserk, he acts like he is possessed by a non-supernatural Boyapati Srinu hero. But then, he is not a superstar and so, director Ajay Bhupathi of RX 100 fame tempers the bloody action with the emotion of intense romance. Dr. Mohan Babu, as Venkatappa Naidu, is the perfect foil to the Prince of Tirupathi. Naidu is the King of Bellary, by the way.
On the face of it, Srinivasa Mangapuram comes across as a film with potential at the box office. Considering that Ajay's stories contain at least one big reveal, it would be reasonable to expect a banger of a plot twist.
Debutante Rasha Thadani has her task cut out. She must bring a sparkling chemistry to the songs, which are six in number. GV Prakash Kumar is the music director.
Also starring VK Naresh, Brahmaji, and Ajay, Srinivasa Mangapuram is presented by Ashwini Dutt and produced by P Kiran. It will head to theatres on July 30.
