The film industry is discussing that Prudhviraj has replaced Brahmanandam and the actor is not pleased at the remark. He says, “There are 35 to 40 comedians here and every comedian has a signature style; they are all doing well. Brahmanandam is the Kohinoor diamond of comedy. Like we had Rajababu earlier, it is Brahmanandam now. I feel happy when I get an opportunity to act with him in at least in one scene.” Speaking of the significant roles he is getting now, he says, “Ganta meda lo paditha gaani yevaru munduku raremo (Unless the bell is put the neck, perhaps nobody will come forward); writer Sreedhar Seepana arrived and gave me a really good track in Aahana Pellanta, Bheemavaram Bullodu, Loukyam, Soukhyam and showed the directors that they could portray Prudhvi in this format too.” Prudhvi is now seen in almost every film be it Jata Kalise or Bhale Manchi Roju or the forthcoming Dictator.
