Sumanth, who was coming to his own after Satyam, really took the flop of Dhana 51 very badly.

Sumanth was almost certain that he and Surya Kiran, could repeat the magic of Satyam.

But Dhana 51 was a major disaster.

Sumanth, who had just then got married to Keerthy Reddy, was almost subsumed by the flop. He was inconsolable and went into a shell.

It has really taken him months to get back to his usual self.

But these days he is not thinking about films in terms of flops or hits.

He is merely content to do his stuff and leave the rest to the hands of fate.

Yesterday, his movie with RS Movie Productions went on to the floors.

The film stars Sumanth and Srihari in the lead with V Samudra wielding the megaphone.

Sumanth did not mince words or beat around the bush when he talked about the movie. He simply said that it was a romantic-action film with dollops of everything thrown in for quick measure.

There was a special purpose to Sumanth's words. He sure looks like someone who means business.

And that is the lesson that Dhana 51 has taught him.
