Updated : Aug 24, 2024
Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and mass director Harish Shankar’s highly anticipated movie, Mr Bachchan carried a strong buzz before the release. The film failed to reach expectations and became one of the biggest flop of this year.
Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under the banner of People Media Factory, the film features Bhagyashri Borse played the heroine opposite Ravi Teja. Massive losses incurred for People Media Factory as the film failed to attract audiences from Day 1.
Recently, the producer TG Vishwaprasad responded on the failure of Mr Bachchan. The producer said, "Mr Bachchan is not a bad film. The first half is passable with some good songs. The second half lost the track completely. Harish Shankar’s interviews and press meets did more damage to the film."
He added, "There are issues and weaknesses in the script that got extrapolated. Though there are strengths in it, the weaknesses are enough for the collapse. There’s enough entertainment in the movie but it cannot fail this badly. There’s some amount of targeting… it’s too early to say. It should run just for songs. It cannot fail at this level."
Talking about directorHarish Shankar, he said "Director spoke more about the film which was not needed” told TG Vishwa Prasad. Harish Shankar even had an interaction with fans after the release and he was badly criticised. He also gave an interview for a gossip website and this was a misfire. The audience are keeping a track of the statements issued by the directors and actors before the release. These all will count for the film’s success. TG Vishwa Prasad credited Harish Shankar for the debacle of Mr Bachchan."
The film’s producer TG Vishwa Prasad promised to refund the buyers as they lost big on Mr Bachchan.
