Naveen Medaram has been in the spotlight for various reasons in recent weeks, primarily due to his association with Kalyan Ram's spy thriller, "Devil - The British Agent." This venture was a golden opportunity for Medaram to ascend to the next level, following his work on films like "Babu Baga Busy" and "London Babulu."
Having invested 100 days of strenuous effort into the project, reshaping Kalyan Ram's appearance and infusing the film with compelling scenes and visuals, Medaram faced a significant setback when the producers decided to replace him. The abrupt change in directorial leadership was attributed to the perceived inability of Medaram to handle such a massive project.
Producer Abhishek Nama stepped in to clarify the decision, asserting that it was necessitated by the challenging scale of the film and the belief that Medaram might not be equipped for such an endeavor. Rumors circulated about Kalyan Ram's discontent with Medaram's unprofessional conduct on set, leading to a collective decision to replace him.
Despite these challenges, Medaram took to social media to express his dedication to the project, shooting for 105 days across diverse locations. He emphasized the personal significance of the film, referring to it as his "baby." While addressing the controversy, Medaram denied any wrongdoing and highlighted the impact of "ego and greed" on the situation. Disheartened by the removal of his directorial credit, Medaram praised Kalyan Ram's commitment to the project and announced his involvement in a new project, details of which would be revealed soon.
In a remarkable turnaround, within ten days, Naveen Medaram bounced back with the web series "90s - A Middle-Class Biopic," now streaming on ETV Win. Directed by Aditya Hasan and jointly produced by Naveen Medaram and Rajasekhar Medaram, the series garnered appreciation for its natural and realistic portrayal of middle-class life in the 90s. This swift redemption from a professional setback to acclaim is making waves in the industry, establishing Naveen Medaram's resilience and creative prowess.
