Resurgence and other work (2016–2018)

Tej's action comedy Supreme which released the following year, was also financially successful and is one of his best movies.

[30] [31] The Times of India had called the character Vijay in the film, the best in Tej's career so far. [32] About his role in the film, Deccan Chronicle reported "Sai Tej has put on weight and with a beard looks fresh and fits the character. For this role, he has completely set aside his mass image". [33] His next film of the year, Prati Roju Pandage was also successful. [34] Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express in his review of the film, wrote that "The film definitely Sai Tej’s canvas and he delivers his standard chops with flamboyance".
