Well, he was one among the top four in Tollywood at one point in time. Incidentally, he also owns a studio. And he is known to encourage new directors and try and experiment with new formats of cinema. Okay, so far so good.
If the new director that the hero banks on gives him a hit, then he it is alright, but the film fails to hit the bull’s eye, then the said director can write off his career say industry insiders.
According to rumours mills in Film Nagar, if the director gives a dud, then chances are bleak that he might ever get to do another film with any other actor in the industry.
Some time back, a new director with a hit film to his credit approached the said star hero with a story. The hero too liked the story and decided to produce the film himself. But that’s when the twist happened and the film failed at the box office.
Now, that got out the other side of the hero out and he publicly called the director a useless guy with zero talent. Also, he spread the word in his circle.
So now the director is literally running around for a second break. Though he did prove himself with his debut film, thanks to his second film, he isn’t being offered any roles.
Of course, one flop in the industry and one has to more or less start all over again. But in this director’s case, he also rubbed the star hero the wrong side and goes without saying nobody is ready to touch him with a barge pole.
And those in Film Nagar say this is exactly the condition of any director who messes with the star hero.
