Kireeti Reddy, the son of former politician Gali Janardhan Reddy, made his acting debut this Friday with Junior. His impeccable dance moves in Viral Vayyari have become a sensation.
The youngster has no great acting talent. He is more a dancer than a performance. His screen presence is pretty average for someone attempting to become a commercial hero.
Now that he has created some impact on a niche audience segment, what next for him? Doing a big-budgeted event film might prove to be counter-productive. It will end up being a vanity project with no certain results. A crime thriller might yield limited results.
Kireeti would have to go back to the drawing room and try to carve an image as a family hero. A good two-hero movie or a college campus comedy like MAD would not be a bad idea. This is a space many have vacated in the Prashanth Neel-Lokesh Kanagaraj pan-Indian cinema hero. But the question is, can he find good directorial talent that can satisfy his search?
