Bharateeyudu 2 received negative reviews, sparking discussions about its impact on Kamal Haasan and Siddharth.
Directed by Shankar and with music by Anirudh, the film has not met expectations.
Shankar has faced significant criticism for his direction in Bharateeyudu 2. Many feel that he has not progressed since the original film released in 1996.
Notably, there are comments suggesting that Shankar has lost his touch in crafting emotional scenes.
This criticism has increased the pressure on Shankar, especially with his upcoming project, Game Changer, starring Ram Charan.
High expectations were riding on Bharateeyudu 2's success to boost anticipation for Game Changer. However, the negative reception of Bharateeyudu 2 has instead led to doubts about Shankar's ability to deliver with his next film.
Anirudh, the music director for Bharateeyudu 2, also facing heavy negative criticism. Critics have pointed out that he did not match AR Rahman's level in the film. Both the songs and background score failed to impress audiences.
Now, attention has shifted to Anirudh's work in Devara, featuring NTR. A song from the movie has been released and while it hasn't broken records, it is received well by a set of audience.
The rest of the soundtrack and background score will be closely watched to see if Anirudh can meet expectations or if the disappointment from Bharateeyudu 2 will continue.
Due to the involvement of Shankar and Anirudh in these projects, the performance of Bharateeyudu 2 has led to increased scrutiny of films 'Devara' and 'Game Changer' featuring NTR and Ram Charan respectively.
