Have you noticed something admirable about Harish Shankar? He is planning a neat career transition. Yes, he knows what to do when he is compelled to give up cinema.
Harish Shankar, by the end of this decade, will be taking on the mantle of 'controversy ka baap' Ram Gopal Varma. This is our prediction based on what he said recently.
In an interview with a well-known journalist, the 'Mr. Bachchan' director expressed his admiration for RGV's YouTube-powered gyaan (which is actually another name of circus in today's times). When the interviewer urged him to become a YouTuber himself, the 'Mirapakay' director answered that he won't do it at a time when RGV is at its peak on the Internet. True that! Ordinary mortals like us can't handle two geniuses.
You would think that the disastrous failure of 'Mr. Bachchan' would make Harish Shankar maintain a low profile. He did the opposite by doing a scripted QnA session instead. In the session, he needlessly poked film critics who had downgraded 'Mr. Bachchan'. He also said that only he has been targeted by the media while others who deliver flop movies are spared!
Three days after delivering one of the worst fops in Ravi Teja's career, Harish showed the gall to refer to the actor's other recent flops like 'Ravanasura', 'Eagle' and 'Tiger Nageswara Rao'. It is as if he wants the audience to remember that he is not the only filmmaker who has ruined Ravi Teja's career in recent years.
Harish Shankar's belligerent attitude and his impressive itch to engage with trolls on social media 24/7 make him an ideal candidate to occupy RGV's chair. We are going to see a 2.0 version of him. Tollywood is a gift that never stops giving!
