Actor Sivaji is finally enjoying the recognition he has long deserved, thanks to the phenomenal success of Court. His journey, spanning over 25 years in the Telugu film industry, has been filled with struggles, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Sivaji, who was widely expected to win Bigg Boss Season 6 but finished in third place, used the platform to make a strong comeback. He later starred in the 90s Middle-Class biopic web series, which brought him back into the industry’s spotlight. However, it was his role as Mangapati in Court that truly cemented his position as a powerful character artist.
In the film, Sivaji plays Mangapati, a man driven by societal status and personal honor, who manipulates the legal system to target the protagonist. His intense performance has won widespread acclaim, with social media filled with praise for his portrayal. Critics and fans alike are hailing Court as a turning point in his career.
At the film’s success meet, Sivaji became emotional as he spoke about his long journey. “For 25 years, I dreamt of people talking about me the whole day. Every Friday, I waited for my moment to prove myself. Today, it has finally come true,” he said.
Despite being a recognized actor in the early 2000s, Sivaji struggled to achieve major commercial hits. He took a 13-year hiatus before making a comeback, carefully selecting scripts. When he was offered the role of Mangapati, he immediately knew it was the perfect opportunity to showcase his talent. Now, Court has positioned him as one of the most sought-after character artists in Telugu cinema.
Released on March 14, Court explores themes of love and honor, resonating deeply with audiences. The film’s pre-release screenings received an overwhelming response, with actor Nani even challenging viewers: “If you don’t like Court, skip my upcoming movie Hit 3.”
The film also stars Priyadarshi, who is making a mark as a lead actor, alongside Harsh Roshan and Sridevi in prominent roles. With the success of Court, Sivaji’s career has entered a new era, proving that perseverance and passion always pay off in the long run.
