In the case of regional films, the result of previous films may not have a great impact on the next films as star heroes have a great following and capability to pull the audience. Star heroes can create buzz irrespective of combination and other factors. However, when it is a pan-India film, a lot of things need to work in favour of the film. Something similar is happening with 2 of NTR’s upcoming projects. When NTR signed War 2 everyone thought it would be a huge film for NTR in Bollywood as the YRF spy series films like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, and Pathaan were blockbusters.
But, the failure of Tiger 3 which is the latest installment in the YRF spy universe has changed everything. The audience rejected the film and it is believed that they are bored of this genre and a saturation point has been reached already. Due to this reason, YRF dropped the idea of a much-hyped Tiger vs Pathaan film. For War 2 all the pre-production work has been completed and shooting started with body doubles for action episodes Unfortunately, there is no hype and anticipation for the film as of now because of spy series is not working for audiences.
Tiger 3 result proved that and this genre is appealing only to a limited set of north audiences and south audiences have usually rejected these movies. So there will be a lot of hurdles to pass for the film to create buzz at the pan-India level.
While this is one hurdle that Tarak will have to cross, another is coming up in the form of his film with Prashanth Neel.
NTR’s other upcoming film is committed with Prashant Neel. Everyone knows Prashant Neel has a huge brand at pan India level. With the KGF series and with Salaar his brand was expected to grow much bigger. But surprisingly, Salaar is doing well only in Telugu and disappointing in other languages. Even non-Telugu audiences are fed up with KGF-style narration and movie setup from Prashant Neel. NTR’s look which was released some time back is also in the same style which is already attracting some negativity for the project.
A few months ago War 2 and Prashant Neel films were seen as a sure-shot blockbuster lineup. But now, with Tiger 3 and Salaar, it has changed. The team has to come up with a lot of exciting stuff to attract all sections of audiences, failing which the movies could fail to create any hype.
