One failure has changed many things for Chiranjeevi and his approach towards future projects. He first canceled his upcoming project with Kalyan Krishna. And now, he wants to go ahead with a film that would actually excite the audience and which is not a regular commercial entertainer. His upcoming film with Bimbisara director Mallidi Vashist is an exciting one. The Megastar will be seen in a fantasy film after a long time.

After this massive project, Chiranjeevi has expressed interest in working with Trivikram. The Megastar has conveyed the same to Trivikram. And now the ace director has decided to create something exciting with Chiranjeevi soon.

After Guntur Kaaram, Trivikram is supposed to work with Allu Arjun. But Allu Arjun has suddenly decided to go for Atlee after Pushpa 2. If Atlee and Allu Arjun’s project actually materializes, then Trivikram will have ample time for one more film and Chiranjeevi is ready to work parallelly as well

Since the fantasy drama with Mallidi Vashista will have a lot of VFX parts, Chiranjeevi can easily accommodate another film which most likely could be Trivikram’s film

Pre – Buzz matters more than word-of-mouth and reviews for the film’s success

0

After Corona Wave, somehow the audiences are losing the interest in most of the films before release itself. The promotional content plays a very key role in a film’s success, more than the more than the word of mouth and reviews. If the audiences feel positive with promotional content, then even if movies gets below average – average talk and reviews, they are seeing excellent numbers at the box office.

At the same time, if the audiences are not pleased with the promotional content and some negative buzz is created before the release, then those movies fail to get a good opening and the audience are not coming to theaters even if the movie gets average – above-average talk for those movies as well.

In industry, most of the films open with mixed word of mouth and only a few films can open with unanimous positive response. For films that get mixed reviews, films pre-release buzz plays a very key role.

The makers should understand at least now and should not take the audience for granted, and they should only release the promotional content which works before release, or otherwise they will have to suffer losses.

Directors in a dream world, sequel idea hurting films

0

As Baahubali and KGF along with some Bollywood sequels created magic at the box office, the trend for a bigger and grander sequel began. More and more directors are leaning towards doing film franchises or sequels and telling the story in 2 or sometimes even three parts. This is causing to be a big problem for the producers.

If the content really has the potential to be a franchise or sequel then there is no problem. But the problem is that directors are making plans for sequels for even some regular commercial films which is backfiring. By planning a sequel way ahead the team hides some part of the film for part 2 which is extremely crucial for the sequel’s success. But, if that surprise element itself is not interesting, then there will be no anticipation for the sequel which is happening for most films now.

In most of the recent films sequel is being pre-planned without any interesting hook to keep the audience guessing and waiting for the sequel. Due to this unnecessary focus on making a film in 2 parts, 1st part itself is becoming a failure leaving little scope of part 2. The makers should now come out of this dreamy world and think multiple times whether content really demands a sequel or not
