But if we look at the current top directors in the industry, they are all in hibernation mode, and it appears that their efforts have been rather lethargic to say the least.
For instance, we have Trivikram and Sukumar, who have both been away from cinema for a long time. Trivikram completed Guntur Kaaram during 2024 Sankranti, and he did not have another project till now.
Sukumar completed Pushpa, last December and he too has been without a project in hand ever since.
Rajamouli Bringing Back Golden Era: Wildest Ever?
Same goes with Koratala Siva, who can perhaps be regarded as one of the top directors in Telugu film industry. He has also been a project in hand after completing Devara.
Lastly, we have the main name on the list, and it is none other than Rajamouli. It is a fact that he started the film with Mahesh Babu, but the issue has been with the pacing.
Crucial Final Hours For Hari Hara Veeramallu
After completing a couple of schedules, this film did not hit the floor till now, and Rajamouli had been having enough spare time ever since. Shooting as anything, but efficient till now.

If the issue here is the strict timelines of top heroes, then it is perhaps time for these top directors to go for other alternative options in the second tier.
