# Boyapati Srinu plans to launch son Harshit as director 2026-08-21T04:52:33+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Mass director Boyapati Srinu is preparing to launch his elder son Harshit as a film director soon. Harshit has assisted his father on two projects and is now poised for his directorial debut, though no formal announcement has been made yet. Srinu has been in discussion with top producers to back his son's debut while also finalising his own directorial commitment. He has two scripts ready and ongoing obligations with Mythri Movie Makers and Geetha Arts. Plans to direct Allu Arjun have been delayed because of the actor's existing schedule. For now, Srinu is prioritising his son's launch while completing talks on his next directorial project. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Boyapati Srinu's eldest son Harshit, who assisted him on two films, now stands at the cusp of a directorial debut in Telugu cinema, an industry where nepotism remains a perennial flashpoint. Tollywood routinely launches star sons as directors before they have proven box-office clout, a practice that often bypasses the traditional struggle for newcomers. The bigger question is whether Srinu, who delivered the mass blockbusters *Sarrainodu* and *Akhanda*, will first complete his own directorial commitments, notably his pending projects with Mythri Movie Makers and Geetha Arts. That decision will set the timeline for Harshit's launch. Watch for Srinu to finalise a producer and an official announcement within the next two months. ## Coverage - telugu360.com Leads exclusively with the director's side of the plan, no sourcing from producers or the son, and no industry context.
