From the lofty heights of a 100-crore start with "Uppena," Panja Vaisshnav Tej, megastar Chiranjeevi's gifted nephew, had a precipitous decline in his future attempts. The film's voyage, which began with promise and praise, devolved into a succession of disappointments, plummeting from the summit to a meagre $1 million at the box office.

Following the success of "Uppena," which grossed over 100 crores globally, Vaisshnav signed on for three more films: "Kondapolam," "Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga," and "Aadikeshava." Unfortunately, all three bombed at the box office. "Aadikeshava," in particular, suffered a resounding defeat with negative reviews and terrible box office returns, signalling a considerable loss of the praise received by his initial feature. Vaisshnav Tej's looks and acting abilities did not improve.

The key issue now is, "What's next for Vaisshnav?" Because he comes from the Mega family, he could have another opportunity. But he must figure out how to recover. Aadikeshava has been a flop, failing to attain even one crore shares. He needs a strong return or he would struggle to thrive in this ruthless profession. Adikeshava is prepared using a tried-and-true formula whose recipe was lost many years ago. The enjoyable moments are insufficient to revitalise the story, making it an out-of-date watching experience.
