Sai Dharam Tej made his entry into Tollywood from a mega family. Though he is yet another hero from the mega clan, Tej has always strived to prove his specialty. There are some similarities between Chiranjeevi and Sai Dharam Tej, careerwise. Their actual debut movies released late and the second films became their debut projects. It is known that Sai Dharam Tej is Chiranjeevi’s nephew and he used to pamper Tej a lot when he was a kid.
Actually, Sai Dharam Tej’s debut happened quite interestingly. While Tej is playing cricket with his friends, director YVS Chowdary saw him and wanted to introduce him as the lead hero. At that point, he had no idea that Tej was Chiranjeevi’s nephew. Nevertheless, YVS Chowdary approached Tej to which he was very happy and that’s how Rey started.
Rey was launched in the year 2010 and got completed in 2013. Due to financial issues, Rey’s release was postponed. His next movie Pilla Nuvve Leni Jeevitham got released in the year 2014. AS Ravi Kumar Chowdary is the director of the movie and jointly produced by Geetha Arts and Sri Venkateswara Creations. While these two production houses met, we can expect nothing less than a super hit and that’s what happened. Rey’s postponement became a blessing in disguise for Tej as Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham turned out to be the perfect launchpad for the mega hero. Regina Cassandra is the heroine of the film and Anup Rubens has composed music. The songs in the movie are huge chartbusters.
After his debut film, Sai Dharam Tej’s original debut Rey released, and as expected it bit the dust. However, Tej is lucky to collaborate with a director like Harish Shankar very early in his career. Subramanyam For Sale is a typical commercial formulaic entertainer that was dealt with in an entertaining way. The dialogues of Harish Shankar are superb in the movie. Mickey J Meyer has composed the music and he has done a great job. All the songs are super hits. The combination of Sai Dharam Tej and Regina was a super hit again. Their chemistry, particularly in this movie is excellent. Dil Raju has produced this movie on Sri Venkateswara Creations.
Sai Dharam Tej is really lucky to collaborate with such a prestigious project Sri Venkateswara Creations. He did three movies with him in his first 4 flicks. After the super hits of Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham, Subramanyam For Sale, Dil Raju has produced another movie with Dil Raju titled Supreme. Anil Ravipudi whose debut flick Pataas was a standout hit has directed this project. Supreme is another masala oriented commercial flick. Sai Dharam Tej has managed to bring out his own market with the success of this movie. Sai Kartheek has composed music for the film and the songs are fine. Rashi Khanna is the heroine of this project and the comedy scenes between Tej and Rashi Khanna came out really well. Tej has scored three hits with his four films released at that point in time and seemed like running away from the young heroes.
Post Supreme, Sai Tej was expected to fly high in his career but fate had other ideas. His next film after Supreme, Thikka sank without any trace. It was a big disaster. Following Thikka, Winner got released. Gopichand Malineni is the director of the movie. Rakul Preet Singh starred opposite Sai Dharam Tej in this film. The winner’s music is composed by SS Thaman. Though the film didn’t perform as per the expectations, it is a good film for Sai Dharam Tej as he got a good name for his acting. His performance in the role of Siddhu. Rakul Preet’s glamour in this movie is a special attraction.
Sai Dharam Tej’s career is the best example of ups and downs. After scoring three super hits in his first 4 flicks, Sai Dharam Tej has received continuous six flops. His marker has hit a new low and all his contemporaries overtook him. That’s when Chitralahari released. The project got released without any expectations. Chitralahari is the story of a failure and how he finally managed to succeed. Devi Sri Prasad has composed music. The dialogues in the film are meaningful. Sai Tej has given a meaningful performance in the flick. Chitralahari has done well at the box office and it is a huge sigh of relief for the actor. He has finally scored a hit after six flops.
Well, after scoring success, it is very important to bank on it and rebuild the lost market. Pratiroju Pandaage is a very crucial film for Sai Tej. The project which was directed by Maruthi is a sensational success. It has collected a huge share and brought in almost double the profits to everyone who was involved in the business. Rashi Khanna has once again teamed up with Sai Tej. The songs in the movie are huge chartbusters and helped the movie to achieve blockbuster status. With this huge success, Sai Tej is back in the reckoning and got the market he lost.
Yet again, Solo Bratuke So Better is an important project in Sai Tej’s career and for that point, it is crucial for Tollywood as well. It is the first film after the pandemic to hit the screens. After a long wait of 10 months, a Telugu cinema got released and the reception has been encouraging. Solo Bratuke So Better did well despite the restrictions. Subbu is the director of the project and BVSN Prasad is the producer for the film. Nabha Natesh has played the female lead role. Once again, SS Thaman did a fantastic work for this movie. All the songs are super hits. Sai Tej is now taking his career very seriously. He is doing projects which have strong scripts.
