Actor Nithiin is reuniting with director Vikram Kumar after more than a decade. Their last major success together was ‘Ishq’ in 2012, a film that revived Nithiin’s career during a tough phase. After several recent flops, Nithiin hopes this new collaboration will turn his luck around and help him regain his standing in Tollywood.
Since the hit Bheeshma in 2020, Nithiin has faced a rough patch. His last seven films failed to make an impact at the box office. Though critics praised his performances and his choice of diverse roles, the commercial success eluded him. The actor has experimented with various genres, trying to find the perfect fit, but none of those films clicked commercially. Now, he looks back to Vikram Kumar, who knows his strengths and weaknesses well.
Director Vikram Kumar is also eager to bounce back. His recent films, ‘Hello’, ‘Nani’s Gang Leader’, and ‘Thank You’ did not perform well commercially or critically. To regain his momentum, he has penned a new story specifically tailored for Nithiin. The script is said to blend emotional depth with commercial elements, designed to appeal to a wide audience.
The fresh script reportedly focuses on youthful drama filled with emotion, relatable characters, and mass appeal. Industry insiders say the story contains all the ingredients that worked in their previous hits. Both Nithiin and Vikram Kumar have expressed excitement about the project, which they hope will reignite their careers.
