Thalapathy Vijay\'s much awaited film Jana Nayagan directed by H.Vinoth didnot release due to the delay in censor formaltiies. At the same time, Sivakarthikeyan\'s Paraksahti released as per schedule.\r\nThe film is getting negative response and producer Dev Ramnath accused Vijay\'s fans for sabotaging Parasakathi as Jana Nayagan didnot release.\r\nHe said \"Just because we are releasing alongside your film doesn&rsquo;t give you the right to sabotage ours. We announced our release date first. Did we try to stop your film? Never. I was at the CBFC office every single day, in Chennai and Mumbai, to overcome hurdles. We were dealing with our censor issues just as your team was. We cleared ours less than 18 hours before the release. Negative reviews, using old videos, influencing people, shouting political slogans in theaters, and messing with BookMyShow ratings&mdash;this isn&rsquo;t competition. You did the same to a big film last year. Speaking as a cinema lover, this isn\'t healthy for any of us. Parasakthi is about a student movement that we Tamils should be proud of. We will fight this, just the way our students did.\"\r\nParaksathi starred Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Sreeleela in key roles under the direction of Sudha Kongara.&nbsp;

\r\nCan Sandeep save Prabhas with Spirit. Prabhas got a huge shock with his experimental horror thriller The Raja Saab directed by Maruti.

Expectations are high as Prabhas has huge following among masses and Sandeep is known for his bold entertainers like Animal, Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh.\r\nIn the meantime, a friend of Prabhas shares &ldquo;Prabhas trusted Maruthi blindly. He is not an interfering kind like Aamir or Salman. He completely surrenders to the director&rsquo;s vision.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued \"When Maruthi first narrated The RajaSaab, he was doubtful. &lsquo;Would this work?&rsquo; was his constant question. Now we have the answer.&rdquo; He said \"Prabhas as &ldquo;too trusting and frequently taken advantage of.&rdquo;\r\nSandeep is planning to show Prabhas in the role of a powerful police office. The source shares \"All eyes are now on Sandeep Reddy Vanga&rsquo;s Spirit, where Prabhas will play a cop for the first time. Reportedly, Vanga has asked the actor to shed kilos to appear leaner and more intense. The character is said to have strong grey shades &mdash; possibly even more troubled than Vijay Deverakonda&rsquo;s role in Arjun Reddy or Ranbir Kapoor&rsquo;s in Animal.\"\r\n

Is Prabhas hearing the danger bells. Prabhas attained international acclaim and recognition ever since the sensation with Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali.
Right after the sensation of Baahubali, Prabhas got flooded with multiple offers from top filmmakers but stuck to the projects he gave green signal to directors like Radha Krishna Kumar and Sujeeth. He did action entertainer Saaho with Sujeeth and Radhe Shyam with Radha Krishna Kumar.
Though Saaho was stylishly shot, it turned out to be a disaster and Radhe Shyam, which Prabhas linedup as a romantic entertainer turned out tobe even bigger disaster.
When Prabhas linedup Adi Purush with national award winner Om Raut, many expected it to be a milestone film in his career. But it instead turned out to be memes fest and troll material. Films like Kalki2898AD and Salaar saved him to some extent but his another experimental film, horror entertainer The Raja Saab turned out to be another disappointing venture.
Prabhas has the following ignominious record.
India's First 70Cr+ Loss- Saaho
India's first 150cr Loss- Radheshyam
India's first 200cr Loss- Adipurush
Surely warning bells are ringing for Prabhas and if Prabhas donot introspect and take corrective course of action and steps, it will be Dooms Day for him.
