Tollywood producers and filmmakers are spending a bomb for film promotions and many say this highrisk strategy is not paying rich dividends.A senior producer cautioned current generation saying "Actors and directors need to be careful. Certain comments can easily backfire and invite unnecessary criticism," and added . "The problem with overhyping a film is that it creates unrealistic expectations. Sometimes the promotional statements become bigger talking points than the film itself."There are many examples when Rajendra Prasad promoted the films as never seen and predicted blockbusters and now the makers of Rao Bahadur are promoting the film in the same manner comparing Satyadev to Kamal Haasan.Vishwak Sen and Priyadarshi alreo promoted their films in the similar manner but the results turned out tobe completely different. The producer says "Tollywood has seen numerous cases where promotional hype backfired after release, while only a handful of films have truly justified such tall claims,"He adds "Today's audience values strong content more than pre-release rhetoric. Filmmakers and actors would do well to let their work speak louder than their words." ---- Pramod Nandivada

The team is now working on the script and deciding how to show Daya Nayak’s journey on screen. Nothing is final yet but talks have started again in the last few months.The idea of this film is old. Back when Varma was making Company in 2002, he wanted to make Company 2 based on encounter specialists. Daya Nayak was even in touch as a consultant at that time. In 2010 also there were talks to connect it with the Company film world. But the project did not move forward then. Now the makers feel it is the right time to bring the story to audience. The script work is the main focus before any casting or shooting decision.Daya Nayak is one of Mumbai’s most talked-about encounter specialists. His story has action, risk and many real cases from the city’s past. A biopic on him can show the tough side of police work and the choices officers face. Varma has already explored crime and underworld in Satya, Company, D, Satya 2 and D Company. So this subject fits his style of storytelling. Fans expect a gritty and realistic take if the film happens.Varma is also preparing for his comeback film, Syndicate. While that is in line, Daya Nayak's biopic is in the early discussion stage. If the screenplay is locked and the angle is final, the project can move to the next stage soon. Until then fans will have to wait for an official update from the team.
