Bellamkonda Sreenivas is all set to arrive with his next film, Bhairavam. It is widely known that the actor remade the Telugu blockbuster Chatrapati in Hindi, which miserably failed at the box office. Bellamkonda Sreenivas says the Chatrapathi remake was a mistake.
During a promotional interview for Bhairavam, Sreenivas opened up about remaking Prabhas and Rajamouli’s blockbuster Chatrapathi in Hindi. He cited the examples of Telugu actors like Rana and Charan who worked in Bollywood.
The Alludu Seenu actor thought Charan’s Zanjeer didn’t work because it was a remake of a Hindi film. Producer Jayantilal Gada Garu told Srinivas that mother emotion and stepbrother emotion will always work in the Hindi belt, and the actor also thought people there wouldn’t have watched Chatrapathi.
Bellamkonda Sreenivas says the Chatrapathi remake was a mistake, and he believed that Rajamouli’s strong emotions would be liked by Hindi audiences. “Due to COVID, the audience’s taste changed completely. I was in a dilemma during the shooting stage, which is why I didn’t give my 100%. I shouldn’t have remade such an iconic film,” said Sreenivas.
Meanwhile, Bhairavam, directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, also stars Nara Rohit and Manchu Manoj in crucial roles. The team is currently taking part in promotional interviews for the film.
