Tollywood is full of rumors concerning the latest Trivikram Srinivas movie titled ‘S/O Satyamurthy’.

The Setup

The matters started to change once the trailers and teaser of the movie were released wherein the main focus has been around Allu Arjun and Upendra has almost been ignored completely. The Real Star does not have much presence in both the video clips and this has upset his fans to a large extent. They are unhappy about the fact that the film makers have presented the film like a solely Allu Arjun centric film.

The video clip showcases actor Allu Arjun in numerous stylish avatars and provides introduction to almost all the characters in “S/o Satyamurthy”. The Kannada superstar Upendra makes his appearance only on a handful of occasions which pass away so fast that the people would hardly notice him. This has provided to be a major source of disappointment for the massive fan following of the Kannada superstar as they were expecting their hero to make a magical and powerful appearance in this movie.

Speculations

The Kannada Superstar Upendra is expected to be appearing in one of the most important roles in the movie “S/o Satyamurthy”. There is a speculation in the industry that there is a high chance that his role is being closely guarded as the film makers want to use his appearance and character as a surprise package which could have a massive impact at the box office. This would provide a logical explanation to the non-release of Upendra’s looks and photos in the teaser and the trailers released so far. After all, this move could turn out to be one of the major success factors for this film.

Upendra’s fans are actually optimistic that the moves made so far by the film makers could be a new sort of marketing ploy and they would be able to watch their star appearing in yet another mercurial role in this movie. They are of the opinion that this could be the main reason why the makers of this film have not released Upendra’s looks and photos from the sets. The news is that the Superstar is playing the role of an antagonist but there are also contradictory news stating that he would be appearing in a character role which is composed of both good and bad elements.

Conclusion

The real story would unfold with the release of the film. Upendra has a massive fan following in Andhra Pradesh and his presence would provide a big boost to the movie in Karnataka as well. Rajendra Prasad, Prakash Raj, Samantha, Sneha, Adah Sharma, Nithya Menen, Brahamanandam, Pavitra Lokesh are the other major artists appearing in this film.
