Prashanth Neel started a trend of making dark, intense action movies. In his films, everything from the setting to the visuals has a dark tone, and the hero is usually very powerful.
He created a successful formula with blockbuster hits like “KGF,” “KGF 2,” and “Salaar.” Other Kannada filmmakers are also following this style.
The new movie “Bagheera,” starring Sreemurali, seems to be on the same track. The Telugu trailer was released today, showing that the film sticks to this trend.
Though Prashanth Neel isn’t directing it, he wrote the story, and Dr. Suri is the director. The film is produced by Hombale Films, the same team behind “KGF”.
Even when just writing the story, Neel’s signature dark action style is clear. Rukmini Vasanth plays the lead female role.
