Rajasekhar, a stalwart in the film industry, earned acclaim as the Angry Young Man of Tollywood, boasting numerous hits in his career, including notable films like “Ankusam,” “Maa Annayya,” and “Simharasi.” However, the past 15 years have posed challenges for him as a protagonist, with only a couple of successes, notably “Evadaithe Nakenti” in 2007 and “PSV Garuda Vega” in 2017. Despite high expectations for projects like “Gaddam Gang,” “Kalki,” and “Sekhar,” these films failed to make a mark at the box office, prompting Rajasekhar to contemplate a shift in his career trajectory.
In a bold move, Rajasekhar has opted for an extended cameo, possibly in a supporting role, for Nithiin’s upcoming film “Extra Ordinary Man,” scheduled for release on December 8th, 2023. While specific details about his character depth remain undisclosed, the trailer suggests a promising display of comedic timing. This strategic departure from lead roles may signal a potential turning point for Rajasekhar, echoing the career transformations of fellow actors like Jagapathi Babu and Srikanth, who successfully transitioned from lead roles to impactful antagonist characters. The success of “Extra Ordinary Man” could usher in a new phase in Rajasekhar’s career, marked by diverse and impactful roles.
As the film industry continually evolves, the audience’s reception to Rajasekhar’s new venture will play a pivotal role in determining the trajectory of his second innings. If well-received, this shift could potentially open doors for more substantial roles, allowing Rajasekhar to contribute to the industry in a different capacity, much like his peers who have found success in antagonist roles after their leading man days. Only time will reveal the outcome, but anticipation is high for this potential resurgence in Rajasekhar’s career.
