Actor
Sharwanand
is
currently
going
through
a
rough
patch
professionally.
His
last
few
releases,
including
Jaanu,
co-starring
Samantha
Akkineni,
not
only
failed
miserably
at
the
box
office
but
also
couldn't
impress
the
critics.
So
now,
a
lot
is
riding
on
his
upcoming
film,
Sreekaram,
which
is
being
directed
by
Kishore
Reddy.
It
also
features
Priyanka
Arul
Mohan
in
the
lead.
The
movie
was
announced
in
June
last
year
and
went
on
floors
in
August.
Initially,
Sreekaram
was
supposed
to
hit
the
theatres
on
April
24.
But
now
that
the
entire
country
is
under
lockdown,
it's
given
that
the
makers
will
soon
lock
a
new
release
date.
However,
what's
worrying
Sharwanand
is
the
fact
that
his
film
has
an
uncanny
resemblance
to
Mahesh
Babu-starrer
Maharshi.
But
how,
you
ask?
Well,
as
per
a
report
in
Tollywood.net,
speculations
are
now
doing
the
rounds
that
Sreekaram
is
very
similar
to
Maharshi
in
terms
of
storyline.
In
Kishore
Reddy's
directorial
debut,
the
36-year-old
actor
plays
an
NRI
who
returns
to
India
and
is
interested
in
taking
up
farming.
Coincidentally,
the
story
of
Maharshi
was
pretty
much
the
same
and
that's
the
reason
Sharwanand
is
now
worried
about
his
movie's
success.
Since
the
Jaanu
hero
hasn't
tasted
box
office
success
in
a
while,
it
is
important
that
his
next
outing
does
well
at
the
ticket
windows.
But
will
Sreekaram
manage
to
get
cash
registers
ringing
or
will
it
bear
the
brunt
of
failure
at
the
box
office
for
having
a
similar
storyline
as
that
of
Maharshi?
Guess,
we'll
find
out
when
Sharwanand's
movie
releases
in
theatres.
