Can Ravi Teja stand up?
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,December 24 2004]
Roller-coaster ride is positively stable in comparison to the life of an actor. At least in the roller-coaster, you know when the ups and downs are coming.
But there is a charm in unpredictability.
Not many may enjoy it. But somebody like Ravi Teja, who has come up the ladders the hard way, sure enjoys the essential challenge of it.
Ravi Teja, if you remember, started his career as a one-scene artiste. He was seen only in fringe roles. Then he slowly worked his way through to some gritty side roles. And before long, he was there in front of
you as a hero.
But making it as a hero is one thing and staying there at the top as a bankable star is another.
It is that lesson that Ravi Teja is now learning. After coming with a series of hits till Venkee, Ravi Teja's career has suddenly hit a road-block.
The failure Chanti and Naa Autograph has been a major set back. But, as he says, the true test of a champion is not in receiving blows. But in getting up from them.
Chanti and Naa Autograph were blows. But Ravi Teja says he will rise up in his next films - two of which are slated for release next month.
Hmm, let's see.
