Besides directing big movies, Koratala Siva had involved in setting up projects for his friends.
“Sarkaru Vaari Paata” happened when Koratala Siva took the initiation and made Mahesh Babu and Parasuram meet together for story narration.
He was also involved in a couple of projects for the production house – Mythri Movie Makers. He had also set up a project, which is expected to start rolling next year.
All these dealings took place when he was enjoying the track record of a director with no flop. But when “Acharya” bombed, he received severe backlash for doing non-directorial activities.
Many criticized him for his over-involvement in business deals of movies instead of focusing on writing and direction. Of course, not on the record!
The debacle of “Acharya” has made him realize that he should stick to his core strength. He has decided to stop all these activities.
Koratala Siva is currently working on the pre-production of #NTR31.
