His father is hugely successful in the industry.

His brother is an up and coming actor.

But success, as Aryan Rajesh (son of director E V V Satyanarayana and brother of actor Naresh) is quickly learning, is no respecter of genes and tradition.

The ruggedly smart actor has been lurching from flops to flops, looking for that one elusive big break.

And it may be Leela Mahal Center.

In a sense, it is his make or break venture. And he knows that. That's the reason he is giving everything he can for the film that also features the controversy-prone Sadat.

Rajah took a sabbatical before taking up the venture to collect his wits and recharge his batteries.

The thing about Rajah is that he has not lost his sense of perspective or his essential humor. He understands the irony that his father, who has created many heroes out of his movies, is not able to see his son as a successful star so far.

But both the father and the son have not lost hope. As Rajah says "the turning point will come sooner than later".
