Sudheer Babu, despite possessing good looks, an impressive physique, and acting talent, has faced a notable lack of success in recent years. His films have struggled to even secure basic box office openings, with his latest venture, “Hunt,” turning out to be a severe disappointment.

In his latest film, “Mama Mascheendra,” where he played three roles, directed by Harshvardhan and released on October 6th, the story takes a bleak turn. The movie has already been removed from theaters just three days after its release, due to its poor performance.

It’s a reflection of the current trend in the Telugu film industry, where unsuccessful films are making their way to OTT platforms swiftly. Surprisingly, the OTT premiere date was announced even before the film completed its first week in theaters, indicating its disastrous run. “Mama Mascheendra” is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video on October 20th, merely two weeks after its initial release.

Initial word of mouth was negative, and the film failed to resonate with audiences in theaters, leading to a significant reduction in screen count on its second day. “Mama Mascheendra” is now facing the challenge of redeeming itself in the digital release, as its theatrical journey has been nothing short of an epic disaster.

Music composer Thaman seems to have responded to director Boyapati Srinu’s recent comments, which indirectly criticized the background score of “Akhanda.” Without explicitly naming anyone, Thaman posted a cryptic reply today, stating, “I don’t care, bro.” Everyone reported that Thaman indirectly responded to Boyapati Srinu. However, there’s another side to this.

The theatrical trailer of Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari was released on Sunday and the film comes up with a tag, “I don’t care, bro.” At the same time, we also hear that there will be a song in the film with the same title. So, Thaman’s fans are defending by mentioning that Thaman’s tweet was in sync with his excitement surrounding the movie.

Earlier, director Boyapati had stirred controversy among fans of the acclaimed music composer Thaman by downplaying his work in “Akhanda,” despite the film’s remarkable success and Thaman’s background score receiving praise. In a recent interview, Boyapati suggested that “Akhanda” was such an exceptional film that it could have succeeded even without Thaman’s background score.

This is not the first time that Boyapati made such statements. Earlier, Boyapati also faced the heat when he loosely downplayed the work of Devi Sri Prasad for the film, Legend. However, DSP gave a counter to the director on the stage where Boyapati made those comments.

Also, Thaman usually responds to his memes and trolls via social media and so far, no filmmaker has made such a comment on Thaman directly on a public platform. The same Thaman scored the music for Boyapati’s last film Skanda and the film failed at the box office. So, this failure could have triggered something between the two.

Whatever it may be, the silence of Thaman and his indirect response has brought attention to the ongoing controversy with Boyapati as well as the film Bhagavanth Kesari.
