In a recent round table interview with one of the overrated Telugu entertainment journalists, so-called creative filmmakers such as Indraganti Mohan Krishna, Nandini Reddy, Venkatesh Maha, Vivek Athreya and Shiva Nirvana had an interaction.
When the journalist asked this so-called creative James Cameron’s successors regarding the audience loving commercial entertainers more than poetic and off-beat dramas, director Venkatesh Maha brought KGF into the scene and referred to it as a senseless and mindless less but till the audience encouraged and made it a blockbuster success.
The two-film old director even trashed hero’s Rock Bhai characterization as ‘Neech Kamine’. The fun made by Venkatesh Maha even brought instant laughs among the other directors who are in the round table interaction.
After witnessing the young director’s comments, netizens asked him as well to make authentic commercial dramas instead of making off-beat films. Instead of commenting on other industry blockbuster commercial films, does Venkatesh Maha have the guts to make comments on our very own commercial hits released in the recent past? question a section of the movie buffs on social media platforms. Will Venkatesh Maha respond to the backfire from the netizens? Remains to be seen.
To date, Venkatesh Maha directed “C/o Kancharapalem” and “Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya” and he commenting on a film like KGF Chapter 2 which collected more than Rs 1200 crore gross at the worldwide box office is even getting negative feedback from the industry people and Yash’s fans from Kannada.
