Veteran actor Sivaji is basking in the limelight following the success of his latest project, Court. After decades of perseverance, Sivaji is now reaping the rewards of his dedication to the craft. The actor, who gained renewed attention during his stint on Bigg Boss, has delivered a performance in Court that has captivated audiences and critics alike.
Despite strong support during Bigg Boss Season 6, Sivaji finished in third place. However, the show revitalized his career, leading to roles in projects like the 90s Middle-Class biopic web series. His portrayal of Mangapati in Court, a character fueled by societal honor and manipulation of legal systems, has garnered widespread acclaim. Social media is abuzz with praise for Sivaji’s portrayal, with fans and critics hailing his performance as a “one-man show.”
At the film’s success event, an emotional Sivaji reflected on his 25-year journey, saying, “It’s my dream for 25 years that people should talk about me the entire day. I dreamt of it on every Friday. I waited Friday after Friday to prove myself, and today, it finally happened.”
Sivaji’s career has had its share of challenges. Known as a “minimum-guarantee hero” during his prime, he faced years without blockbuster hits and took a 13-year hiatus from the industry. However, his comeback with Court solidifies his position as a prominent character artist and a viable alternative for seasoned actors in both Telugu cinema and beyond.
Released on March 14, Court delves into themes of love and societal honor. The film’s makers held premiere screenings that received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Actor Nani even issued a bold statement during promotions, challenging audiences: “If you don’t like Court, skip my next movie, Hit 3.”
The film also stars Priyadarshi, who transitions from a comedian to a leading man, alongside Harsh Roshan and Sridevi in key roles. With Court, Sivaji has not only fulfilled his personal dream but has also set a new benchmark for himself in the industry.
