Worry not. It's not Anil Ravipudi or Vamsi Paidipally. It's not Prashant Neel of 'KGF' fame either (the uninitiated may be informed that Neel might do a film with Mahesh Babu next year).

The director who is being trolled mercilessly on social media is Srikanth Addala, who had been in hibernation after the disastrous performance of 'Brahmotsavam' in 2016. He will now be wielding the megaphone for Venkatesh's 'Asuran', which some trolls are joking might become 'Asuran Intlo Arati Chettu' in Telugu.

Writes Sriraag Govardhana, "If a 'Manchodu' like Srikanth Addala can get to direct a film like 'Asuran', then you too can turn the tables, push the limits, break the barriers, uproot the hesitations, bury the fear, buy that Merc, colonize Mars, discover alien life."

One hopes Addala will prove to be the right choice instead of the hilarious one he has come to be seen as.
