Suresh Kondeti, the PRO and film journalist, is known for organizing the Santhosham Film Awards for many years.
He is also called Santhosham Suresh for the same reason. Many in the industry openly recognize him as a PRO for mega heroes, and his Twitter account also mentions this in his profile.
He describes himself as a Producer, Distributor, Journalist, Editor & Publisher of Santosham Weekly Magazine, Chairman of Santosham Film Awards, Mega PRO, and MAA EC Member.
However, surprisingly today, Allu Aravind stated that Suresh Kondeti is in no way connected to the mega family and has never worked as a PRO for any of the mega heroes. This comes in the backdrop of a significant flop show of the Santhosham Awards Event in Goa that happened recently.
There have been many complaints from journalists who attended, as well as other industry actors and technicians who felt insulted and ill-treated due to a lack of accommodation and other basic hospitality features.
When the other film-industry media, as well as the local film media, wrote about Suresh Kondeti, mentioning that he is a mega-PRO, Allu Aravind condemned it by disowning Suresh Kondeti.
The point to underline is that he was very much present at the event as a guest and as the maker of the film "Baby," which received the Santhosham Film Award.
Many are expressing concerns about the statememt of Allu Aravind, who is disowning Suresh Kondeti, even though it seems to be a personal failure.
Some suggest that he could have addressed the situation more maturely, acknowledging the unexpected failure of the show and Suresh's successful track record over the years.
Aravind appears worried that the mega camp's image will be tarnished in the eyes of the industry due to Suresh's mismanagement.
Instead of only mentioning the failed event, he is going to the extent of disowning Suresh, which speaks to his escapism and immaturity.
It's essential to remember that Suresh Kondeti is close to the mega family and has also worked as a PRO for some of their heroes.
Comments are circulating in the industry that if mega camp people feel that anything adverse happens to their image, they will promptly claim it is unrelated.
Interestingly, even as this news is being written, Suresh Kondeti has posted an explanation on his Twitter account and he continues to be identified as a Mega PRO.
