Gopichand's career has been going South for quite a long time now. His last successful film Loukyam was released in 2014.
Seven films released in these five years and he is yet to register a hit at the box office. His latest film Chanakya has been declared flop by the trade.
Makers of Chanakya took the gamble and locked horns with mighty Sye Raa that is going great guns at the Telugu box office.
Chanakya failed to grab attention amid Sye Raa storm and couldn't cash in on the festival advantage.
Weak reports have further nullified its chances of clicking and it has ended up as the seventh flop in a row for the talented actor.
Gopichand is failing to read the trend and is clueless about what to do to be successful again.
He is sticking to his action hero image and has been picking outdated themes all the time.
Luckily, he has a couple of movies in the pipeline, but he needs to make a strong comeback with his next film to remain in the race.
