Shakti, Kantri, Shadow, Bholaa Shankar. Meher Ramesh has been remembered by Telugu cinema fans for these disasters. But what if we told you he had a positive role to play in a cult classic?
Meher Ramesh worked as a co-writer on Mahesh Babu's Pokiri. The blockbuster movie had some scenes written by Meher. It is another matter that his creativity proved to be a mere flash in the pan. What he could achieve by complementing Puri Jagannadh's vision was an exception, the kind of which he couldn't replicate with his solo ventures as a director.
Meher Ramesh has always received the support of the Chiranjeevi camp. However, with his big-ticket films like Shakti and Shadow flopping big-time, he decided to stop directing movies altogether. Chiru gave him a chance to redeem himself with Bholaa Shankar, a mega disaster of sorts.
Jr NTR's Shakti was shockingly bad that producer C Aswini Dutt is said to have lost Rs 25-30 Cr on that movie.
