Once the Tamil film industry was number one in India in terms of quality and success rate of films. Great directors came from there. He made films with very diverse stories and received huge success. But in the last few years the standards of Tamil movies have gone down a lot. Many directors who have aired there have gone down.
Very few directors like Lokesh Kanakaraj are doing well in Tamil. Many top directors, including Murugadoss, failed to make films of the standard. It is at this time that the attention of Tamil star heroes is falling on Telugu directors. Already Kollywood’s top hero Vijay has done ‘Varisu’ with Mana Vamsi Paidipalli. The movie released on Sankranti and became a blockbuster.
Now Kollywood has scored another hit with a Telugu director. Directed by Venky Atluri, Dhanush’s ‘Saar’ hit the screens on Friday. This movie got positive talk both in Tamil and Telugu. There was not much buzz for this movie until few days ago in both the places. But the situation changed during the release week. Aggressive promotions have come together. The film team, which is slow on the film, also held paid premieres. Positive talk started from there. Talk is good even on the release day. The reviews are also positive. It is not possible to say how big a success the movie will be, but it is certain that it will stand as a successful movie.
Both Itu Warisu and Itu Sir are not only made by Tollywood directors, but also produced by Tollywood producers. In the same vein, Dhanush’s upcoming film under the direction of Shekhar Kammula. Karthi’s film under the direction of Parasuram has also done well, so the Telugu flag will wave even more in Kollywood.
