Shankar faces wrath of Ram Charan fans
on Jan 15, 2025
Director Shankar is a celebrated legend in Indian Film Industry. The director delivered huge successes till his recent releases Indian 2 and Game Changer. From his debut movie Gentleman in 1993, he maintained his successful track record till 2.0. While his I and 2.0 did face criticisms, they ended up as successes.
He also delivered huge blockbusters that changed outlook of people towards Tamil Cinema and South Indian Cinema. But his tendency to over cook and spend huge budgets seem to have come as major hindrances for his success at the box office in his last two releases.
Indian 2 had to be expanded to Indian 3 and Game Changer has been trimmed to 2 hours 45 minutes after a 5-hour final cut. Shankar himself admitted that he had to miss some scenes he loved in the trimming process. He stated that he is not satisfied with the movie release version as well.
The director also stated that he doesn't care about criticism and he did not read negative feedback for his film. Now, Ram Charan fans are displeased by his statements. The movie could end up with massive losses everywhere and Shankar stating that he had 5 hours cut on table is hurting them.
Ram Charan spent 3 years on the film and he even gave up on another film for this one. Shankar made Indian 2 & Indian 3 along with Game Changer. His varied focus seems to have both the projects. He never directed two films simultaneously and it showed too, on the big screens.
For now, fans are hoping that festival box office do help them to bail out the film from being a huge disaster of epic proportions and they are pledging to unleash their wrath on Shankar, after the holiday season. While Anjali and Ram Charan as Appanna are gaining praises no other craft is being wholeheartedly admired even by fans. Maybe a crude wake up call to the director.
