Vishwak Sen, who has been praised for his risk-taking moves and offbeat characters, failed recently with Laila, which did not connect with the public at the box office. In spite of his risk-taking move to break boundaries—playing a female character for the first time—the film did not yield the desired reaction.
Taking the failure as a learning experience, Vishwak addressed his fans, promising to be more selective with his future projects. He assured that moving forward, he would focus on compelling storytelling and impactful performances to keep audiences engaged.
Presently, Vishwak is occupied with the shooting of Funky, a comedy entertainer directed by Jathi Ratnalu fame Anudeep K.V. Produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the movie features Kayadu Lohar as the heroine and is going on at a rapid pace.
Meanwhile, Vishwak is carefully charting his next course of action. Sources indicate that Masooda director Sai Kiran recently read out a gripping action thriller script to him, and the actor has apparently given the go-ahead for the project.
Once Funky is complete, Vishwak will most probably collaborate with Sai Kiran for this high-octane project. Fans of Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi also have reason to rejoice as a sequel for the cult favorite is in the works, which adds to his upcoming list of projects.
With good films waiting to be made, Vishwak Sen is preparing for a much-needed comeback. In the wake of the failure of Laila, bringing a box-office success has never been more important, and his subsequent decisions will have a bearing on his career’s trajectory.
