Very few people know that 2006 released movie 'Shock', featuring Ravi Teja & Jyothika, was directed by Harish Shankar. The movie was indeed a 'Shock' to Ravi Teja as well as to other cast and crew as far as it's performance at the box office. The movie bitterly failed at the box office. The movie was produced by Ram Gopal Varma. Remembering that unforgettable debut of his, as the movie is being telecasted in MAA channel on Wednesday, Harish Shankar shared his thoughts on the movie through a series of tweets through his twitter account. He started off saying he never regret making that movie even though it was a flop movie as it was a great opportunity for him to direct talented actors like Ravi Teja, Jyothika and Kota Srinivasa Rao. "Few ppl dont know that SHOCK is my first film ... And I never regret of it.Thanks to MassMaharaaj And @RGVzoomin for making me Director;", he tweets. "And it's My boon to work with most talented actors like .., Raviteja @JyothikaSuriya ,Tabbu Kota Baabay in my First Film it self:", he continued. He mentions the reason for remembering the movie, as he is getting many calls on it since it is being telecasted in Maa channel. "Today Shock telecasted in MAA tv so getting lot of calls ....", he tweeed. He also said that to this time he takes the complete responsibility for the movie's failure for the very reason that his screenplay was bad. "And SHOCK flop Ki Poorthiga naadhe baadhyatha ... I don't give that failure credit to anyone :-) I did a bad screenplay ... that's it :-)", says Harish Shankar. But he got many tweets from the normal audience saying they really like the movie. One of the tweet came from Samantha, who said she really liked that film. Samantha tweeted, "heyyyyt I really like that film.....", to which Harish Shankar responds saying "Naa Janma Dhanyam :-) thanks :-)". Finally he said that even though every one liked the chemistry of Ravi Teja with Jyothika, the economics done by the movie after it was released not liked by him. "Everyone Liked the CHEMISTRY between Ravi Teja and @JyothikaSuriya But I dint liked the ECONOMICS after the release :-(", he said.


Although the movie has left a bad & 'Shock'ing memories for him, it might have happened for good to him. Because his next two movies 'Mirapakaya' & 'Gabbar Singh' have done very well at the box office, especially 'Gabbar Singh' was being a one of the most successful movie of the year 2012 and even in the entire Tollywood's history. He is gearing up to give another blockbuster to Tollywood in the form of 'Ramayya Vastavayya' featuring Jr.Ntr as the hero.
