If the director and writer are in perfect sync, then films become blockbusters.
So, did Srinu Vaitla lose his touch after his writers parted ways with him? Yes, say industry insiders.
It is a fact that writers like Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan have walked out of Srinu Vaitla’s camp. Many say that the break-up was due to ego clashes between them.
After the back to back success of his films, Srinu Vaitla had ego clashes with Kona Venkat and both of them also indulged in making allegations and counter allegations on television.
In the past, Bapu-Ramana and Vijaya Bhaskar-Trivikram were highly successful pairs. After Trivikram broke off, Vijaya Bhaskar had to go off the scene.
Film history has shown that if hit combinations break up, it is bound to impact their individual performance.
Late EVV also had to face a similar predicament after the death of his writer B Babu Rao. After that, he made many flops as he could not get proper writers.
So, common opinion in industry is that Srinu Vaitla must realize his folly and make peace with his writers, both for himself and his fans.
