When you have the most committed and possibly the most successful actor(from a commoner to a self built star) of this generation like Nani at your disposal, good things are expected from the director.
But in the case of Srikanth Odela, he has messed it up big time. He kept Nani and other actors, including top technicians occupied for a period of two years with this film only to make a clearly unconvincing product.
When arguably the greatest busy director of this generation, Anirudh Ravichander is coming up with template tunes for background score, then the range of the bad product is decided already.
Anirudh is capable of almost single-handedly, saving a film with his background score alone, and we have seen this multiple times in the past. But when he gave up to a large degree, and that is not a positive sign by any stretch of imagination.
Elaborate production designing, and extensive shoots are evident from the opening scenes itself. The producer has spent lavish money on the entire film, and we get to observe it in every single frame almost.
But it is the Director must steer all these production amenities, and efforts of gifted technical team and actors in the right direction. Just going for untoward determination that serves nobody is never a good thing and that's exactly what Srikanth has done this time around.
