He is trying to understand where he fits in terms of roles, market dynamics, and audience preferences. His talent is undeniable, but the success required to sustain his career continues to elude him.

In 2024, Satyadev had two releases, both of which disappointed him in theaters.
He made two different attempts this year. The first was an action drama Krishnamma, which did not find its audience in theaters. The film was presented by a known name, Kortala Shiva, but that did not matter much for theatrical audiences.

Krishnamma wasn’t a bad film, but in today’s market, strictly average films fail to attract crowds to theaters. The result for Satyadev was highly disappointing.
The second release was a financial crime thriller, Zebra, which also underperformed theatrically with minimal or zero impact. The film did, however, find some love from a small section of audiences on OTT. But when looking at the larger picture, both films failed to deliver the required success—whether in terms of critical acclaim or commercial results.
