Veteran director-producer Dasari Narayana Rao is considered to be a person with open heart. He does not mince words when he wants to criticize somebody or praise somebody.
Of late, whatever Dasari is speaking has become controversial. The other day, Dasari attended the Hexa Platinum Disc function of Mahesh Babu starrer-film “Businessman,” where he showered praises on the Prince, while simultaneously taking potshots against certain high-profile heroes who put their fingers in the job of directors making a mess of the film.
Dasari said the secret of success of Mahesh Babu lies in his attitude of not poking his nose in the director’s job.
“He sincerely does his job and strictly follows the director’s suggestions. Like the proverbial Gangireddu (The tamed bull which nods to its master’s directions during the Sankranti festival), Mahesh Babu, too, does not cross the brief given by the director. Because of this noblest quality, the director will have the freedom to churn out the best out of Mahesh Babu and the film automatically becomes a big success,” Dasari said.
While saying so, Dasari had a dig at some heroes, saying they felt as if they had the best ideas in their brain and therefore, sit on the director’s head and meddle with the story and script. And such films end up as flops, Dasari said.
The film critics who attended the function could clearly make out that Dasari was indirectly pointing an accusing finger at Pawan Kalyan. It’s an open secret that Dasari always crosses swords with Chiranjeevi and his brothers!
