While heroes and heroines need godfathers in the form of directors who always pick them, even directors need godfathers in the form of producers who back them. If there is no such producer behind a director, his way of picking big stars at right times will get weakened.
Look at Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Vanga for example. He has scored a runaway hit in Telugu which became a cult hit of sorts. And then he remade the same film in Hindi as Kabir Singh and that turned another biggest blockbuster. But then, his next film is yet to take off and he is shuffling between various heroes including that of PRabhas and Ranbir Kapoor in order to get going.
If we take directors like Anil Ravipudi, he has Dil Raju’s backing which made him approach Mahesh right away after F2 and got his dates immediately. Similarly, Nag Ashwin got the backing of Ashwini Dutt, due to which he has bagged Prabhas project now. So, Sandeep also needs a big producer who could stand by him to get big heroes into his kitty.
But the reality is that, if Sandeep scores a couple of more hits in Tollywood, then surely he doesn’t need any such godfather as heroes will queue for him.
