Nani losing his mojo

Nani losing his mojo. Telugu people love Nani as he attained stardom with his hard work and dedication. He struggled to reach the stardom and captivated all with his natural and realistic performances.

His natural and realistic performances and feelgood entertainers endeared himself to all sections of movie lovers. Movie lovers still cannot forget his films like Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, Jersey, Hi Nanna to name a few.

But he then tried to mass entertainers and expand his base. He came up with brutal crime thrillers HIT3 and Dasara. Many admired him for trying different genre entertainers and owned him. Now he came with mass action entertainer The Paradise. He teamed with Dasara director Srikanth Odela.

He transformed his look completely. Though his hard work is visible on the screen, his look, did not connect chords with the many movie lovers. Nani couldn't be faulted, as the story turned out to be weak and resembled that of many earlier films. However, some of his mannerisms and dances resembled those of Ram Charan in Peddi. The Jadal look many feel misfired.

Even the expressions and emotions turned artificial and The Paradise story looked artificial, weak with many illogical scenes. Nani in his quest for mass image, is alleviating his other sections of movie lovers. Nani and the makers of The Paradise proudly claiming that their film got A certificate, did not augur well with his stardom.

Nani should realize that his strength lies in feel good entertainers and doing extremely and mindless violence films will tarnish his image and bring down his reputation. It is high time he introspect and ensure that artificiality doesn't creep into it and success do not turn him headstrong.
