The release and subsequent success of ‘Kerintha’ must have come as a huge relief and joy not just to Dil Raju but also its director Sai Kiran Adivi.
When the project was conceived more than three years back, neither Dil Raju nor Sai Kiran Adivi must have thought even in their wildest dreams that it would be a test of their perseverance for the better part of more than three years.
In fact, of the original team that was supposed to be part of ‘Kerintha’, only Sai Kiran Adivi was the lone survivor.
Despite adverse media reports that the project was shelved, scrapping 40 minutes of the footage and reshooting the whole film and reworking the star cast and schedules, it was a testing time for the director who gave up opportunities to work with Allari Naresh and direct ‘Anaamika’ during this period.
His faith in the project has paid off now. It was well worth the wait.
