Atlee is a very good filmmaker who has a perfect grip on the craft. He knows his audience and delivers what they want. He is a self-proclaimed mass commercial director who enjoys doing fan service and giving huge elevations to heroes. He is known for packaging his movies very well and present his movies in a very convincing manner.
He often faces complaints about being very basic, stuffing too many elements and his scenes resembling a lot of other South Indian films. Despite all his flaws, his movies are known to please everyone and ended up as blockbusters till now. His recent outing ‘Jawan’ is racing towards 1000 crores and created a sensation in Bollywood. He is receiving a lot of praise though he faced the same complaints once again. But it looks like Atlee is getting a little carried away in the interviews lately.
The ‘Bigil’ director said that he might send ‘Jawan’ to the Oscars and will talk to SRK about it. During his chat with Anupama Chopra, he revealed that Hollywood makers gave an offer for him to collaborate in the future after looking at the chase sequence of ‘Jawan’ in the second half. While the scene definitely drew whistles and cheers in theatres, one cannot deny that it is over-the-top with zero logic. While we enjoyed them wholeheartedly, even SRK’s fans would not say that it impressed Hollywood makers or had a chance of winning the Oscars.
It looks like Atlee needs to calm himself a bit and stop becoming a troll material. He revealed that he is going to take four months off as he wants to spend time with his newborn. Let us see if he cools himself down and make crowd-pleasing cinema without making these statements once again or not.
