Usually, when a movie gets delayed, the excitement around it fades. But that’s not the case with Robin Hood. Originally planned for a Christmas release last year, the film is finally hitting theaters on the 28th of this month. It missed both the Christmas and Sankranthi seasons, but the makers have ensured it doesn’t go unnoticed. Director Venky Kudumula is personally taking care of the promotions, ensuring the film stays in the spotlight.
Also, it is very important for Venky Kudumula to prove himself as a director. Interestingly, Venky got a chance to direct Megastar Chiranjeevi right after he delivered a Blockbuster with Chalo. For some reasons, the project did not take off, leaving Venky in disappointment. The word of mouth in the film circles back then is that Venky is too early to handle Chiranjeevi and there were even doubts on his craft.
Cut to the present, Venky crafted Robinhood and despite being out of the spotlight for a while, he is building buzz around the film. With engaging promos and fun marketing, the director successfully created excitement around Robin Hood.
Filmmakers often speak highly of their movies before release, but Venky Kudumula has gone a step further. To show his confidence, he personally acquired the Uttarandhra distribution rights for Robin Hood. It’s unclear if this was part of his deal or if he invested separately, but it clearly indicates his strong belief in the film’s success.
The last week of March is packed with other big releases, creating stiff competition. It remains to be seen if Robin Hood can stand out and make an impact at the box office. If Venky scores a hit, he will surely enter the next league of actors.
