NTR's Journey Of Failures With Hit Directors
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,October 12 2013]
Is it a curse on NTR that a director who is high on a success fails to deliver with him. Does NTR give the director a complacency that fails them to deliver twice in a row... What makes the Young Tiger different from the other heroes. A study into the actorÂs filmography establishes that for every failure of the actor, the director had a hit just before.
ÂNinnu ChoodalaniÂ, the debut of NTR as the hero has director VR Pratap who came straight from ÂNuvvu VastavaniÂ, Akkineni Nagarjuna - Simran starrer, produced by RB ChowdaryÂs Sper Good Films. NTRÂs ÂNinnu choodalani is a failure. NTRÂs third was ÂSubbu with Suresh Varma, who delivered a hit in ÂSivayya just before this film. B Gopal after his all time blockbuster ÂNarasimha NaiduÂ, did ÂAlalri Ramudu with NTR immediately and failed.
Puri Jagannath gave his first flop in five films after ÂItlu Sravani SubramanyamÂ, Idiot, ÂAmma Nanna O Tamil Ammaayi and ÂSiva ManiÂ. His much publicized ÂAndhrawala was a damp squib at the Box office. VV VinayakÂs ÂSamba came immediately after ÂTagoreÂ, Surender ReddyÂs ÂOosaravelli was the immediate next to ÂKickÂ, ÂDammu was a failure for Boyapati after ÂSimhaÂ, ÂBadshah was Srinu VaitlaÂs average fare at the BO immediately after ÂDookudu and finally, Harish Shankar who is on a high after twin successes ÂMirapakay and ÂGabbar Singh failed to deliver with NTR in ÂRamayya Vastavayya with the film thrashed by critics and reports from the fans say that they are disappointed with the show.
One director who failed to deliver twice with NTR is Meher Ramesh (Kanthri, Shakthi) while VV Vinayak and SS Raja Mouli are the directors who doubled up their successes with NTR as well. Vamsy Paidipally and Krishna Vamsy gave hits with NTR after a failure.
