Macho Star Gopichand has been trying to regain his box office form, but his recent films, Bheema and Viswam, could only manage average collections. Despite their decent performances, Gopichand is still looking for the right project to deliver a blockbuster and cement his position as a leading action star. To achieve this, he has been carefully planning his next films and is currently involved in pre-production work for multiple ventures.
The latest buzz is that Sampath Nandi will be doing another film with Gopichand. The two have shared the screen only twice so far, in Gowtham Nanda (2017) and Seetimaar (2021). Neither of those managed to become massive hits, despite having good mass appeal. Gopichand and Sampath Nandi had always been considered a promising duo, as they had the skill to make their films stylish with action entertainers and commercial values.
Insiders say that even though an official announcement is yet to be made, the duo has been talking about an interesting script, aiming for a full-on mass entertainer. Considering all that they have done together earlier, there is hope among fans that this would be the bigger film that will give success.
Except for the Sampath Nandi project, Gopichand also booked his film with Radhe Shyam director Radha Krishna Kumar. This project is expected to bring a fresh perspective to his filmography, as Radha Krishna Kumar is known for his visually stunning storytelling. Unlike his usual action-packed roles, this film might offer Gopichand a different kind of character, possibly blending intense drama with stylish execution. The shoot for this project is set to commence next month, and more details regarding the genre and cast will be revealed soon.
Before directing Gopichand Sampath Nandi will start working on a mass entertainer with Sharwanand. The movie is supposed to start shooting later this month, in other words, the director has a busy schedule before joining forces with Gopichand.
Since both Gopichand and Sampath Nandi are deeply committed to their respective projects, their third film will hit floors only next year. Once Gopichand completes his project with Radha Krishna Kumar, and Sampath Nandi gets over Sharwanand’s one, they start pre-production works for their second film together.
With these multiple projects in the pipeline, Gopichand is making calculated moves to get back on track with a strong commercial hit. Fans are eager to see whether his collaborations with Radha Krishna Kumar and Sampath Nandi will provide him the much-needed blockbuster he has been waiting for.
