He might be Mega Star of Telugu Cinema and might have ruled the industry for two decades. But after his political debut, things in the industry have changed swiftly. Chiru’s comeback Bruce Lee, where he is seen in cameo, says it all. The film didn’t turn out as expected hinting that Chiru’s charm is not as same as before. On other hand, Chiru is keep on becoming so choosy about his director for his landmark 150th film which is worrying his fans who have been waiting for his 150th for longtime.
Especially, Chiranjeevi dumping director Puri Jagannadh and the manner in which Puri was ousted became talking point in the industry. Even many of Puri’s peers felt that it wasn’t fair for a star of Chiranjeevi’s stature to do so. As soon as Puri is sacked, the immediate name that popped up is VV Vinayak. While Vinayak continue to tight lipped on the issue, reports were rife that he would helm Chiru’s landmark 150.
Now that Vinayak’s directorial Akhil tanked without a trace, it’s unlikely that Chiru would team up with him. In fact, even before Akhil’s release, Vinayak hinted that he wouldn’t direct Chiru. Another ace director in the tinsel town is SS Rajamouli who is riding high by delivering blockbuster Baahubali. Though Rajamouli made Magadheera with Ram Charan, chances are unlikely that he’d direct Chiru’s 150.
Mega camp is of the opinion that Rajamouli would take away the credit even if the film is hit. Also, now that Rajamouli is busy with Baahubali sequel, and announced a spree of projects, Chiru-Rajamouli combination is far from sight. Meanwhile, director Sreenu Vaitla already tasted two back-to-back duds Aagadu, Bruce Lee. So, Vaitla is out of race without a doubt.
Though Chiru is trying to get acclaimed Tamil director Murugadoss for his 150th, it’s seems not happening as the Stalin director is quite occupied. Also, the wide gossip that’s doing the rounds is that top directors are afraid to work with Chiru as he’d give heavy pressure to them and little freedom.
Not just top directors, even top technicians seem to have scared to work with Chiru who is tough taskmaster. So, many industry big wigs opine that Chiru should change a little bit and should become little flexible so that directors would come up to work with the yesteryear star. Looks like, it’s time for Chiru to change.
