Director Sukumar’s ascent to national acclaim with the Pushpa franchise, which turned into an All-Time Indian Industry Hit, has earned him the status of a cult filmmaker. The recent thunderous success of Pushpa 2: The Rule further cemented Sukumar’s stature as one of India’s most visionary directors, creating a cultural wave that reached audiences across the globe.
However, for Telugu audiences, Sukumar’s legacy transcends box-office numbers, stardom, and accolades. A creative genius, Sukumar began his career as a lecturer, nurturing young minds. His bold transition to filmmaking marked the rise of a star director, yet the teacher in him never faded. Through Sukumar Writings, he has mentored and empowered his assistants and associates to leave their mark on the industry. Over the past decade, Sukumar Writings has delivered impactful stories such as Kumari 21F, Uppena, Virupaksha, and 18 Pages, introducing fresh talent to Telugu cinema.
Now, one of India’s most awaited projects, Peddi starring Ram Charan, is being made under Sukumar Writings, where Sukumar’s profound impact and guidance are inevitable. Following the monumental success of Pushpa 2, expectations surrounding Peddi are sky-high, with audiences and industry insiders eagerly waiting to witness yet another game-changing cinematic experience. The same anticipation extends to critically acclaimed projects like Gandhi Thatha Chettu and NC24, being helmed by Karthik Dandu.
Sukumar’s selfless commitment to fostering creativity sets him apart, earning him respect that very few star directors achieve.
On the professional front, Sukumar is currently immersed in scripting his next project with Ram Charan, alongside pre-visualization work and six additional scripts ready for production. We’ve already seen how SS Rajamouli was left stunned after watching just one sequence from Ram Charan’s film. As per sources, the rest of these six scripts hold the same potential to shake the nation.
Meanwhile, Sukumar Writings continues to champion compelling stories, nurture talent, and solidify the legacy of a filmmaker whose humanity and creativity inspire the world.
