Comedian Satya is said to be the highest-paid contemporary Tollywood comedian. Earlier, the distinction belonged to Brahmanandam and then to Vennela Kishore.
This week's release, 'Mathu Vadalara 2', hinges heavily on Satya's talent. He has been declared the film's main hero. Satya's effortless comedy is accentuated by the fact that it doesn't seem repetitive. Many of his contemporaries don't enjoy this luxury.
In recent times, films like 'Vivaha Bhojanambu', 'Geethanjali Malli Vachindi', 'Bedurulanka 2012', 'Rangabali', 'Krishna Vrinda Vihari', among others, have offered Satya good roles. It was 'Mathu Vadalara', which was released just before the pandemic, that changed the game for Satya. It is fitting that he has cemented his position in Telugu cinema with its sequel. Satya owes a lot to director Ritesh Rana for making him a new-age comedian of sorts. Of course, the competition from Vennela Kishore remains.
