Mega Brothers Have No Star Power

Like Chiranjeevi family in Tollywood, we have Suriya and his brother Karthi together named as a Mega Family.  They have developed parallel markets both in Telugu and Tamil. So, producers and distributors in Telugu wait in queue to bag the dubbed version's release rights in Andhra Pradesh. But, this could be only be the past because flop runs of '7th Sense, Brothers' for Suriya and 'Sakuni' for Karthi proved that they are no more the heroes on whom distributors can jusy rely upon star power.

In tamil too, the situation is same because Karthi has an additional flop in the form of 'Alex Pandiyan' which has no one to release as 'Bad Boy' in Telugu. With back to back flops, Karthi realized his true identity in Kollywood. Without an abel director, right subject and strong scripts like 'Yuganiki Okkadu, Awara,' he would have failed to make a stand in market. Adding more to the woes, 'Biryani' in the direction of Venkat Prabhu is also shelved indefinitely.
