Sudigali Sudheer is dreaming big. After trying to become a comedy hero and then an action-comedy hero, the Jabardasth fame comedian now wants to become a dramatic hero with the pan-southern Indian movie, Hai Lesso. When our stars aim for new markets, they are invariably doing a KGF-inspired movie, a Kantara-inspired tale, or a HanuMan-inspired fantasy-superhero actioner.
Hai Lesso comes with this description: "An arrival of our holy deity in her fierce avatar. A divine & rooted tale of our culture is coming to thrill you all." It is evidently inspired by the beats and aesthetics of Kantara while making an attempt at reinventing Pushpa's Jathara episode.
The question is, can Sudigali Sudheer handle the ambitious project that will be released in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. It's not easy, but he could surprise the audience if the narrative is strong. Siva Cherry, one of the aides of Ram Charan, is one of the producers of Hai Lesso.
