Sudheer Babu Sticks to 'Nava Dhalapathy' Despite Backlash

ADVERTISEMENT

Sudheer Babu started to be called 'Nava Dhalapathy' from 'Harom Hara' onwards. The sobriquet has invited ridicule, particularly after the film flopped at the box office a few months ago.

Since 'Harom Hara' sank without a trace, will Sudheer Babu abandon the sobriquet? Does he think he overdid it by allowing such a bombastic title as a prefix before his name?

If his defence in a recent interview is anything to go by, Sudheer Babu feels 'Nava Dhalapathy' is something he very much deserves. He reasons that he has audience acceptability behind him, if not one-billion or two-billion grossers.

The reasoning is strange. You must call yourself a Nava Dhalapathy, only if you are a mass hero. You will be called a mass hero only if your film grosses big. Sudheer Babu hasn't had a fascinating grosser throughout his career. Post pandemic, his career has only slided back further.

Hope Sudheer Babu scores a hit with 'Maa Nanna Superhero', due to be released in theatres on October 11.
