Sequels giving sleepless nights

Sequels giving sleepless nights. There is nothing wrong in planning a continuation or sequel to a hit movie. Films like KGF, Baahubali, Pushpa proved how one can do wonders when directors blend their creativity with conformity. However, not every time this will repeat.

This was proven recently with Sardar 2. The film turned out to be the biggest disaster. Earlier Manmadhudu sequel came and it boomeranged on everyone. When Sardar Gabbar Singh came to cash in to the craze of Gabbar Singh, it turned out tobe a disaster and even Pawan Kalyan fans experienced nightmares.

Same is the case with Ravi Teja's Kick. Kick 2, Mantra 2, Bharateeyudu 2, Sami Square and many others bombed at the box office. All these are planned to cash in to the hype by coming up with forced story and narration. Rajamouli, Prashanth Neel and Sukumar did not fail as they narrated the stories in a sincere and honest manner. Same is the case with Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar.

Now Jailer 2 is coming and if the film turns out to be a hit, then viewers will have some respite from sequel scares. Pawan Kalyan's OG Universe is carrying immense hype. Dil Raju who announced sequel to Shatamanam Bhavathi went into silent mode for unknown reason. Devara 2 may not be on the anvil following the result of Devara.
