Sumanth's career has been more chequered than the flag that they wave at the end of the F-1 races.

Till last year, he was groping in the dark, wondering where his next was going to come from.

There were snide remarks that he owed his position in the industry to his family (granddad ANR and uncle Nagarjuna).

Then Satyam happened. The critics quickly went into a mute mode. And when Gowri, Sumanth's next film, also turned into a passable hit, he was seen as the next big thing industry.

Sumanth was suddenly flooded with offers. But he chose to Dhana 51 with Sooryakiram, with whom he partnered sensationally for Satyam.

But Dhana 51 was not a winning number. And quickly, Sumanth found himself in usual circumstances ---diffident and desperate.

In the meanwhile, he also got married to Keerthi.

So it is good that Sumanth took time off from the debacle of Dhana and recharged his batteries.

He is now all ready and refreshed to do a film with Ramana. It is supposed to be another masala movie with lot of popular attractions.

Further, in a fresh impetus to his career, his Nagarjuna is planning to do a film with Sumanth under his home banner Annapurna Arts.

Sumanth is keen. His family is also chipping in.

Looks lie he can once again pick up the threads of his tattered career.
