During your first steps as a director in the regional industry, your normal path would be to prove your mettle in the language you are comfortable with by scoring consistent hits and working with big names. If all goes well then you may think of doing something in Bollywood.
Contrary to that, can you think of doing just one film in Telugu as a debut and immediately jumping to the big Bollywood? Well, if you have the right talent and material, that is not a big deal. To quote an example, the young filmmaker Sankalp Reddy might do just that.
It is known that Sankalp made his debut with the movie Ghazi and it was released as a bilingual. Owing to the film’s success and the appeal it created in Mumbai, it is heard that chances of Sankalp directing a big Bollywood hero look high as he is getting offers from there. Hearty congrats Sankalp!
