Ace filmmaker Sukumar of Tollywood is all the rage once again with the record-breaking success of Pushpa 2: The Rule. Allu Arjun starrer did create history by minting a whopping Rs. 1500 crore worldwide. However, it wasn’t just the film’s success that was making news; rather, it was the out-of-the-blue comment Sukumar made at the Game Changer promotional event in Dallas that left everyone surprised.
The event, which also marked the launch of the much-awaited “Dhop” song, took a shocking turn when he was questioned about one thing he would leave behind during an interaction with Sukumar. When asked about one thing he would like to leave behind, his candid reply—”Cinema”—left the audience stunned. Even Ram Charan, who was present at the event, looked momentarily taken aback before lightening the mood with his quick wit. “No, no, it won’t be happening,” he quipped, drawing laughter and applause from the crowd.
Since then, a video of Sukumar’s response has gone viral, with people debating hotly across all social media platforms. Fans and film enthusiasts are divided as to whether the comment was a serious revelation or just a lighthearted joke. While some believe it may hint at deeper thoughts, others are convinced that it was Sukumar’s characteristic playfulness being misinterpreted.
Despite all the chatter, it is crystal clear that Sukumar remains committed to cinema. With Pushpa 3: The Rampage and RC 17 already in the pipeline, the director shows no signs of slowing down. Known for his unique storytelling and ability to push creative boundaries, Sukumar has consistently redefined what Indian cinema can achieve.
As fans wait eagerly for his next ventures, one thing is certain – Sukumar’s vision and art continue to make him a benchmark of the most influential filmmakers in our time. Whether he is building an epic, larger-than-life blockbuster or sparking debates to question some of life’s issues, he continues to be the trailblazer of every sort.
