The screenplay by Gopichand Malineni for Ravi Teja's "Krack" brought him fame.
Despite being a fairly standard action film, "Krack" earned praise for its believable depiction of combat and a few surprising turns. This film not only established his name as a filmmaker, but it also became a box office success.
Gopichand Malineni did not receive the same recognition for his latest film, "Veera Simha Reddy." Instead of praise, he was criticized for creating a generic mass movie. The plot was seen as a rehash of "Chenna Keshava Reddy," and it did not garner much praise.
However, it is worth noting that Gopichand Malineni did not originally approach Balakrishna with the story for "Veera Simha Reddy."
He had presented a script for a fast-paced action movie that takes place in 24 hours. Balakrishna requested a "mass" film instead, leading to the story being reworked into "Chenna Keshava Reddy."
Gopichand Malineni now plans to work on this thriller with a young hero.
