At a time when Nandamuri Balakrishna's films aren't doing well, the elder actor has resurfaced with the huge success of boyapati Sreenu's Akhanda. At the same time, megastar chiranjeevi has been doing well since his comeback, until Acharya. And now for a fascinating discussion on these two stalwarts who continue to enthral the audience.
Balakrishna has an intriguing slate of films, which may come as a surprise given that he is collaborating with three blockbuster directors. First, he has gopichand malineni of krack fame working with him on a film, which will be followed by F3's Anil Ravipudi, and then he will rejoin with boyapati Sreenu, the filmmaker who brought him three enormous blockbusters in a row.
Cut to megastar chiranjeevi, whose next project is a remake film directed by Mohan Raja called Godfather. Later in his career, he worked with filmmakers such as KS bobby (Waltair Veerayya) and meher ramesh on films (Bhola Shankar). None of these directors are very hot right now, and none of them has recently made a big blockbuster. While Mohan Raja earned a name for himself in tamil with the original Dhruva, he has yet to show himself in Tollywood.
With the uncertainty surrounding the films these directors would create with chiranjeevi, his followers are understandably concerned, but Balayya's fans are optimistic about blockbusters. chiru, on the other hand, is experimenting with the directors he chose, whereas balayya is racing with established filmmakers. However, with acharya indicating that even a director like koratala siva can deliver a dud and then kgf director prashanth neel demonstrating that a one-film old director can outperform even Rajamouli's film, we must wait and see how the future chiru and balayya films turn out.
