A big question always burns the brains of young filmmakers who aspire to strike it rich like our elite group of directors. Like the saying ‘all that glitters is not gold’, these top directors are known for what they are not.
A trade analyst and an insider of Tollywood expressed his observations about directors and here are a few.
Rajamouli:
Nicknamed as Jakkanna, he is famous for not delivering any flop movie till date. But, shockingly, none other than Magadheera, Maryada Ramanna and Student No.1 have brought profits to producers. They say ‘Sye’ movie burned the pockets of producer with 2 crore loss.
Krish:
After making ‘Vedam’ and ‘Gamyam’ Krish joined the elite group for his intellectual andphilosophical ideas. But, Vedam has turned out costly for producers. His latest venture ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’ is a co-production with his own money and Suresh movies as a partner.
Deva Katta:
Though he talks and sounds smart, none of his movies have allowed producers a smile. Both, Vennela and Prasthanam are loss ventures and hence it took long time for him to commit a producer for his ‘Autonagar Surya’
Sekhar Kammula:
Both his award winning movies, Anand and Godavari made a big hole to his pocket as he is the producer too. While ‘Happy Days’ is a runaway hit, profits walked into distributor Dil Raju’s office. Still Sekhar is regarded as a sensible director.
To sum up, star directors are not someone who makes commercially successful flicks always.
They just do an average movie with good feel that passes with audience before failing with producers. Cinema works on ‘trademark’ folks!
