Of late, Chiranjeevi was most seen in the remakes and his fans are quite disappointed with his choice of movies. It’s true that a good subject in the wrong language loses its charm, as Chiranjeevi mentioned during the ‘Bhola Shankar’ event.
However, that’s not entirely true. With the ongoing OTT trend, language is not a barrier anymore. Many films are finding their audience within the confines of homes.
It’s not just the hero and the director’s popularity that matters. A good subject earns respect if it’s well-executed. Going back to remake trends only reflects a lack of innovation. Instead of hastily labeling a film as a flop, it’s important to carefully consider the audience response.
Hence, until recently, Chiranjeevi had refrained from doing remakes, which he is now revisiting with ‘Bhola Shankar’. This decision came with strong backing.
This time, they should seriously contemplate the remake subject matter. Currently, he is involved in two films. One is directed by Vashisht of ‘Bimbisara’ fame and the other is with a young director for SRT Entertainments. Moreover, Chiranjeevi is also producing a straight movie.
However, the idea of full-fledged remakes should be reconsidered. They should take a step back and evaluate the situation. By carefully choosing, they can bring something new and fresh. At present, with two directorial projects in hand, they can explore remake opportunities after completing those.
Two straight movies and a remake in the middle – this pattern seems to be taking shape. Let’s see how this pattern unfolds.
