The film industry, often driven by sentiment and speculation, has given rise to numerous myths. One such myth posits that actors who collaborate with acclaimed directors like SS Rajamouli are destined for success, but their subsequent films often result in commercial failures. NTR, a prominent Telugu actor, has experienced this phenomenon firsthand, leading to growing concerns among his fans.
NTR’s association with SS Rajamouli has been marked by significant box office triumphs. Their previous collaborations, “Student No.1,” “Simhadri,” and “Yamadonga,” have all achieved blockbuster status. However, following these successes, NTR’s solo ventures, “Subbu,” “Andhrawala,” and “Kantri,” faced commercial setbacks.
Now, as NTR prepares for the release of his latest film, “Devara,” directed by Koratala Siva, fans are apprehensive about the possibility of the myth becoming a reality once again. Given that “Devara” marks NTR’s solo release after a six-year hiatus, the stakes are high. The film’s success is crucial to maintaining NTR’s star power and dispelling the lingering concerns surrounding his post-Rajamouli career.
While the myth of a post-Rajamouli slump may persist, it’s important to note that individual factors such as script quality, directorial prowess, and audience preferences can significantly influence a film’s performance. NTR’s talent and dedication, coupled with the anticipation surrounding “Devara,” offer hope that the film will break the pattern and solidify his position as a leading actor in the Telugu film industry.
