Aadi Sai Kumar: Feel for the bowlers this IPL
Hyderabad, April 26
Pointing out the margins for error were very small for bowlers, Telugu actor Aadi Sai Kumar, who is also an ardent cricket fan, has now expressed sympathy for the bowlers participating in this season of the Indian Premier League.
Taking to his X timeline to pen his thoughts on the predicament faced by the bowlers on a day when two high scoring games were played, Aadi Saikumar wrote, "Feel for the bowlers this IPL. Flat wickets... nothing for pace, nothing for spin.Margins are so small - one no-ball, one free hit. Who would want to be a bowler in this format? Short boundaries impact players too."
He further went on to observe, "Game will be interesting if there is balance with Bat and ball. Yes, high scoring is good but still miss those mid 170 scores."
On the work front, Aadi Sai Kumar will next work with director Phani Krishna Siriki on 'Sairabanu'.
Well known producer Razesh Danda, fresh off the sensational success of 'K-Ramp', is to bankroll the film under the Hasya Movies banner, with Krishnakanth Paruchuri as co-producer.
Bandhavi Sridhar has been roped in as the female lead opposite Aadi Sai Kumar for this film.
Sources say that Aadi Sai Kumar, who scored the biggest blockbuster of his career with 'Shambhala', is now steering towards concept-driven films with strong commercial appeal.
Hasya Movies took to its social media timelines recently to announce the title of the film. Sharing the title poster, it wrote, "A formal beginning... to a love story that breaks every boundary. #SairaBanu Pooja Ceremony commenced today. Clap by @Kiran_Abbavaram. Camera switched on by @RamAbbaraju. @saikumaractor garu Script handover by @konavenkat99 @JainsNani. First shot direction @filmsyogi. Shoot begins soon."
Sources claim that Phani Krishna Siriki has crafted a unique Hindu-Muslim love story laced with humour, with the narrative unfolding in Rajahmundry and Hyderabad.
Backed by a strong technical team, the film aims to be a rich visual and emotional experience. The film is to have cinematography by Raam Reddy and music by Shekar Chandra. Chota K Prasad is to handle the editing of this film while Brahma Kadali will serve as the production designer.

Honestly, it's not just the flat wickets. The impact player rule has made it even worse for bowlers. Teams are batting deep and going hard from ball one. I miss those nail-biters where 160 was a winning score. The game needs more balance between bat and ball.
Sad reality for bowlers in T20s nowadays. Even the best bowlers are going for 40-50 runs in 4 overs. Kudos to Aadi for speaking up! By the way, excited to see 'Sairabanu' - unique concept with a Hindu-Muslim love story in Rajahmundry and Hyderabad sounds promising.
High-scoring games are fun but they lose their charm when every match is 200+. As Aadi said, those 170-180 scores made the game more interesting. Bowlers deserve better conditions. But also, what a thoughtful guy - glad he's using his platform to talk about cricket and not just promote his films!
Point noted about bowlers, but honestly, this is the nature of T20 cricket now. Teams have figured out how to maximize scoring, and fans love the sixes. The real issue might be the quality of bowling - we don't have enough world-class bowlers in the league. Anyway, looking forward to 'Sairabanu' - love stories that break boundaries are always needed! 🌟
Aadi makes a fair point. As a cricket fan, I enjoy the big hits, but the game feels one-dimensional now. The middle overs need more suspense. And great to see him working on concept-driven films - 'Shambhala' was fantastic! Can't wait for 'Sairabanu' with such a strong
