Sai Dharam Tej is now fully engaged with all his time and attention to his new period action drama, ‘Sambarala Yeti Gattu’, which is being helmed by Rohith KP. Said to be a visually pleasing and gripping movie set against a historical background, the film stars Aishwarya Lekshmi as the heroine and is produced on a grand scale with a huge budget.
When the film was officially announced, the producers dropped a strong teaser that caught everyone by surprise. But since the word got out all those months back, nothing has come out from the crew. The shooting is going on silently, with the unit keeping quiet about everything.
The producers are targeting releasing the film in theatres for Dasara festival season, and September 25 is being discussed as the release date. With Sai Dharam Tej being such a popular hero and having such an ardent fan base as one of the members of the Mega family, there is inevitably a great deal of interest in the film. Its name, tone, and location indicate the film has the potential to be one of Tej’s career-best films.
Interestingly, in contrast to most of his contemporaries, who usually keep juggling multiple projects or even declare lineups beforehand, Sai Dharam Tej appears to be adopting a more concentrated mindset. Until now, he hasn’t made any declaration regarding his next movie, and it is not clear if he is actually listening to scripts or planning anything ahead of this film.
Industry sources think that Tej will most probably initiate talks for his next project only after finishing ‘Sambarala Yeti Gattu’. Fans, however, are expecting the actor to pick up two back-to-back films and gain momentum in the future. Since the film is about to release during the festive season, announcing his next venture soon will keep him in the news.
All the same, there has been no indication yet whether the team will hit the September release mark. In case of any postponement, there is an expectation that Sai Dharam Tej will keep the focus on concluding this project before turning his attention elsewhere.
