Dhanush-Nagarjuna to touch this genre

Entire film industry, especially Kollywood got a huge shock when reports came that NIA (National Investigative Agency) sent notices and summons to Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, after investigating her personal assistant Adhilingam who was arrested from a fishing boat in Kerala on 18 August 2023 for arms and drugs smuggling.\r\nThis spread like wildfire and in the midst of all this, many started analyzing even the ramifications. In the meantime, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar issued a press statement, rubbishing the news of NIA notices to her. Varalakshmi\'s press release ran in the following way.\r\n&ldquo;In light of recent events, I feel that it\'s important to address this issue for the purpose of clarity. All the news information circulating mentioning that I have been summoned by the NIA relating to a case involving Mr. Adilingam are false and mere rumors. No such summons have been issued. No requests for personal appearance anywhere has been made (sic).&rdquo;\r\n&ldquo;Mr. Adilingam had worked with me only for a brief period 3 years ago as a freelance manager. During this period I was also simultaneously working with many other freelance managers. After his tenure, we\'ve not had any association or communication with each other to date. I am equally shocked at the news. I would be happy to be of assistance to the government in any way possible.&rdquo;\r\n&nbsp;&ldquo;Its disappointing that celebrities are being used and pulled into the news these days without any truth or clarifications from the involved persons. I request the media to publish articles and information based on facts rather than speculate at the humongous cost of reputation (sic).&rdquo;

Trivikram, Sukumar camps in Tollywood. Wizard of Words Trivikram Srinivas and ace director Sukumar are known for their intelligent and thought-provoking entertainers. Now reports are coming that Trivikram and Sukumar got confined to their own camps and this is becoming the talk of the industry.\r\nTrivikram Srinivas is doing films under the Haarika Hassine Creations banner and his word is final for those in the production house. Apart from that, Trivikram\'s wife Soujanya also entered into the production and is making her presence felt. Similarly, Sukumar is currently associated with the Mythri Movies banner and his decisions are final there.\r\nIt is a mere coincidence that both are making their presence felt at the national level. While Thaman who scored music for Trivikram-Allu Arjun\'s Ala Vaikunthapuramlo won the best music director award at the national level, Devi Sri Prasad who scored music for Sukumar-Allu Arjun\'s Pushpa The Rule won the best music director award at the national level.\r\nHowever, while Trivikram is busy guiding his friend, Power Star Pawan Kalyan, and doing remakes for him and readying scripts for him, Sukumar is guiding his proteges to make their mark as directors.&nbsp;

Directors who once delivered sensational hits even changing the course of the Industry are now struggling to deliver even a decent film. The filmmakers who had command over their craft are now facing humiliation for their latest outings. Where does the problem lie, Is it getting relaxed after earning star director status or lack of fire in the belly? But, it is sad to see these dynamic directors struggling to deliver.

Praveen Sattaru earned the image of a promising filmmaker by doing films in different genres. Right from his debut film LBW, Praveen tried various genres with Routine Love Story, National Award-winning Chandamama Kathalu, Guntur Talkies, and PSV Garudavega. His film, Garuda vega with veteran hero Rajasekhar surprised everyone with its stunning narration and slick action. But, then his two films The Ghost with Nagarjuna and Gandeevadhaari Arjuna with Varun Tej turned out to be disasters. Garudavega was made with a limited budget but with an intriguing screenplay whereas the last two films had a surplus budget but poor writing.&nbsp;

Another Director who is known for making the most stylish action thrillers is Surender Reddy. He proved his mettle as a director with his debut film Athanokkade with Nandamuri Kalyanram. His films Kick, Race Gurram, and Dhruva became super hits with stylish taking and making. His film with Megastar Chiranjeevi, Sye Raa also won accolades for portraying the freedom fighter's war impact fully. But, his last outing Agent with Akhil Akkineni bombed at the box office. Delivering flops is one thing but making poor films missing basic elements is unacceptable. Especially when crores of money and the careers of numerous people who work hard for that film are at stake.&nbsp;

Directors like Puri Jagannadh, VV Vinayak, and Vikram K Kumar also fall in the same category. Puri Jagannadh who introduced a new grammar to filmmaking in Tollywood delivered a pan India disaster Liger while VV Vinayak who was once a star director with whom stars waited to work made a remake of Chatrapathi in Hindi which didn't even recover qube and publicity costs. Vikram K Kumar is considered the next Maniratnam after his films Ishq, Manam, and 24. Manam blew everyone away with its master storytelling. He delivered a dud like 'Thank You' last year. These filmmakers are highly talented and have proven themselves. They just need to stay relevant and retrospect themselves where it went wrong with their latest films.

Boys Hostel suicide at BO. Super Hit Kannada film Boys Hostel was released in Telugu with little changes last week. Supriya produced the film on her Annapurna Studios banner to release the film in Telugu. The film which starred ManjunathNayaka, Prajwal BP,Srivatsa Shyam, Tejas Jayanna, Shreyas Sharma,Anirudha Vedanthi,Abhi Das,Gagan Ram, Rishabh Shetty, Pawan Kumar, Diganth Manchale and directed by debutante Nithin Krishnamurthy got the unanimous positive talk.\r\nHowever much to the shock of all, the film turned out to be a failure in Telugu. Now people are wondering who was responsible for Boys Hostel\'s suicide. Many feel that though top production house Annapurna Studios entered the project along with Chai Bisket, they failed to promote the film and attract the attention of viewers.\r\nNeither Annapurna Studios nor Chai Bisket team could generate pre release buzz on Boys Hostel and even after the film release, they failed to create any promotional blitz. Infact they ended up murdering the blockbuster film in Sandalwood in Telugu. This puts a question mark on their promotional strategies.\r\nThis is stark contrast to how Geetha Arts promoted the superhit film Rishabh Shetty\'s Kantara, Kannada version in Telugu before releasing the Telugu version and arranging for special screenings.&nbsp; The same is the case with Dil Raju who promoted Tamil film Love Today and scored a blockbuster releasing the Telugu version. One cannot forget the Bunny Vas\' promotional strategy for superhit Malayalam film 2018. Surely Annapurna Studios needs to introspect its promotional strategies along with Chai Bisket.&nbsp;

Chiranjeevi takes feedback seriously. Mega Star Chiranjeevi reached the top echelons in the industry not just like that. It was due to his dedication, hard work, commitment, and transforming and reinventing himself molding accordingly according to the change of times and changing situations.\r\nIn the process, he tasted many disasters and utter flops but every time people wrote him off, he bounced back strongly taking the entire box office by storm. Chiranjeevi is once again facing a similar kind of situation when his films Acharya and more recent flick Bhjola Shankar bombed at the box office. Though he scored a hit with Waltair Veerayya, even it had the same routine content.\r\nAfter Bholaa Shankar, many requested Chiranjeevi not to do remakes and also indulge in romance with younger beauties and do roles that suit his age.\r\nAccording to the latest, Chiranjeevi has taken this feedback seriously and in his next project with Mallidi Vasishta of Bimbisara fame, he will do a role that suits his age and elevates him in a daring, dashing, and dignified manner. The question will Chiranjeevi\'s changed mindset help in conquering the box office once again?&nbsp;
