Director AR Murugadoss has impressed with movies like Ghajini, 7th Sense Thupaki and now coming up with Rajnikanth’s Darbar movie. But then, the two straight Telugu films he has directed including that of Chiranjeevi’s Stalin and Mahesh Babu’s Spyder have gone for a toss at the box office.
In the wake of these happenings, Murugadoss candidly admitted that he has failed to satisfy Telugu audiences. “When I did Spyder with Mahesh, I’ve focused more on his Tamil launch but ignored Telugu market and the audiences. As I’ve failed to catch the pulse of cinema folks here, the result went for a toss. Maybe I’ve to study Telugu audiences more to make movies that will impress them. I’m sure gonna do that” says Murugadoss.
While promoting his latest movie Darbar, the director admitted to this. Of course, his own movies like Ramana (Tagore in Telugu) and Kaththi (Khaidi No 150 in Telugu) have done well when remade by other directors, by making some nativity changes to the original. So the director need to understand how those changes are like, and what they could do to a film.
