Teja on comeback trail with new film

After a disaster like “Jai”, hotshot director Teja seems to have realised the importance of experience.He has reunited with his discoveries Uday Kiron, Sada and favourite composer Patnaik for his next presentation “Avvunna… Kadanna…”.

An overconfident Teja burnt his fingers with newcomers Sandeep and composer Anoop with “Jai”, but he has rushed back to his dependable composer Patnaik with whom he had a series of musical hits and Uday Kiron with whom he is on the verge of a hat trick to revive his sagging career. “It will have the feel of ‘Nuvvu Nenu’,” declared the filmmaker.

Uday, too, has pinned his hopes on this action-based love story to resurrect his career. “It’s my first film against a village backdrop,” said the youngster who described his reunion with his mentor as a “memorable event”.

Composer Patnaik promises another chartbuster and Sada’s dream to do another film with Teja has “come true”.  The film, being produced by Poornachander Rao, should give a fillip to the careers of Teja, Uday and Patnaik provided it can recreate the magic of “Nuvvu Nenu”.

That movie was a rehash of “Bobby” with the twist of Marocharitra. Let us see where Teja draws his inspiration from this time for this do-or-die venture. Most in the industry, however, agree that he has signed the right team for his script instead of experimenting again with newcomers as in “Jai”, where slight Sandip was a clear misfit in the role of a heavyweight boxer.
