Prashanth Neel is one of the popular Pan-Indian directors and the biggest brand of Kannada cinema. His last movie was Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire with Prabhas, and now he has written the screenplay for the movie Bagheera, which is going to be released tomorrow as a Diwali special.

Prashanth Neel built him as a brand of Kannada cinema with the KGF franchise. After KGF, he directed Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire with Prabhas as lead. This movie has acquired mixed responses from the audience.

Despite the reviews as per sources, this movie had a decent theatrical run and also ended up as a comeback movie for Prabhas.

After Prashanth Neel's KGF franchise, Kannada cinema became popular, and then Rishabh Shetty's Kantara also became a pan-Indian hit. After these two movies, the Kannada industry has started to do big-budget movies.

Then, Upendra Rao's Kabzaa was released, which ended up as a disaster, and recently Dhruva Sarja's Martin was released, which also ended up as a flop venture.

After these movies, many critics and audiences mentioned that the Kannada industry, after the success of the KGF franchise, was trying to make the same genre of movies with Dark Themes.

In this scenario, these two failures are now even affecting the brand Prashanth Neel, as his next movie as a writer, Bagheera, directed by Dr. Suri and made with a budget of 50 crores, is going to be released tomorrow, but still, advance sales have not even crossed 10 lakhs.

It looks like the utter disasters of same-genre dark-theme movies became boring ones for viewers. Also, the one who created this theme itself is getting backlash due to this, says the audience.
