Jr NTR has expressed his wish to do a small film made on a modest budget. He wants to complete such a film within 40 days and, probably, release it on his own in theatres.
The question is, is there a filmmaker who has the potential to grab such a golden opportunity? When big stars make only big-ticket bonanzas and behemoths, small and medium-range filmmakers privately complain about lack of opportunities from superstars. Now that Tarak wants to do what these filmmakers have always expected from big stars, will they rise to the occasion?
The fact of the matter is that most filmmakers who are supposed to have the calibre to mount content-led small movies have lacklustre ideas. That's why they struggle to repeat successes. Most of them fade out after one or two hits. Why else do you think studios like Ramanaidu Studios and Annapurna Studios are failing to spot generational talents? Because our filmmakers are one-film wonders.
Those with some potential hanker after big-scale spectacles and settle for nothing less. The gap between the first and second films of 'Uppena' director Buchi Babu Sana would be more than five years.
Then we have the likes of Venkatesh Maha and 'Middle Class Melodies' maker Vinod Anantoju, who are supposed to be making content-led original films but are either making remakes or are absent from the scene. That's why big stars like Jr NTR end up doing only spectacle movies all the time.
