Ajay Bhupathi’s Resurgence: A New Chapter with Karna

Ajay Bhupathi, the director behind the critically acclaimed RX 100, has faced a rollercoaster journey in his filmmaking career. After the commercial disappointment of Maha Samudram, he found solace in the independent film Mangalavaram. Now, as he prepares for his next venture, Karna, Bhupathi seems determined to reclaim his position as a prominent filmmaker in the Tollywood industry.

Initially conceived for Vikram’s son, Dhruv, the story of Karna has now been adapted for the rising star Virat, who has given the project the green light. With a potential release shortly after Diwali, Karna is poised to be an action-packed film with a budget estimated between ₹30 to ₹40 crores. The project has officially kicked off, and fans are eagerly awaiting further details.

Virat’s recent release, Nagabandham, has garnered attention, despite its production budget of around ₹70 crores. Bhupathi’s decision to back Karna indicates a renewed confidence in his filmmaking abilities, despite the challenges faced with his previous work. The shooting for both Karna and Virat’s upcoming projects is set to run in parallel, showcasing Bhupathi’s strategic approach to maximizing momentum in his career.

Interestingly, despite the flop of his initial movie Pedakapu, Virat seems to have managed to secure multiple film opportunities. Reports indicate that he has greenlit two more projects slated to begin in the first half of 2025.

In a landscape where every film has the potential to redefine a career, Ajay Bhupathi’s latest venture could be the key to unlocking his next chapter. With Karna on the horizon, fans and industry insiders alike are keen to see if this action-packed narrative will be the ticket to a triumphant return for the filmmaker. As the project progresses, all eyes will be on Bhupathi to see if he can turn this new opportunity into a blockbuster success.
