Chandoo Mondeti, the director of “Karthikeya 2,” is gaining recognition in Bollywood after the success of his film following “The Kashmiri Files.” Initially, there were talks about him directing Hrithik Roshan for a Geetha Arts project, but he chose Naga Chaitanya‘s “Thandel” instead, opting for a story by a newcomer.
Recently, Chandoo announced “Karthikeya 3,” sparking speculation about his choice of leading actors. Some observers wonder if he’s limiting himself to Tier-2 heroes in Tollywood, as he has mainly worked with actors like Nikhil and Naga Chaitanya.
While some view this as Chandoo’s struggle to break into the big league, others suggest he might be content with the offers he’s receiving and not actively pursuing projects with A-list stars.
Insiders note that Chandoo may not be crafting stories with the scale needed for superstars. Chandoo Mondeti’s career trajectory prompts discussions about whether he’s deliberately opting for smaller projects or facing challenges in securing opportunities with top-tier actors.
