Bholaa Shankar has been met with negative feedback, signaling the uphill task of recovery. This has triggered an immediate wave of criticism.
This time, director Meher Ramesh has found himself at the center of the trolling storm as a key figure in damaging a Chiru's film.
Devoted fans of the Mega star are directing their frustration towards Meher, alleging that he mishandled the portrayal of Chiranjeevi by placing him in an outdated story.
It is important for the audience, particularly Chiru's supporters, to acknowledge that Meher shares the blame for this flop just as Chiranjeevi does.
With Chiranjeevi's extensive decades-long experience in the industry, it is shocking to see a film of this nature proceeding to production.
If a star of his stature gives the green light to a narrative, it implies that Chiranjeevi also bears responsibility for its shortcomings.
If we rewind a few days, it becomes apparent that Chiranjeevi initially expressed enthusiasm for this storyline.
Chiranjeevi himself endorsed the story, deeming it captivating and suitable for the Telugu audience. Thus, as much as Meher is accountable for this failure, Chiru also shares a portion of the blame.
Chiranjeevi demonstrated significant involvement in the movie "Acharya," helmed by the esteemed director Koratala.
Reports emerged of disagreements off-screen, implying that substantial alterations were made due to Chiranjeevi's interventions.
Considering this, when a director with a lackluster track record like Meher Ramesh undertakes a project, shouldn't Chiranjeevi exercise a similar degree of involvement?
Without a doubt, all the modifications in this film occurred under Chiranjeevi's watchful eye.
When Meher mentioned that the original story underwent a 70 percent transformation, it undoubtedly suggests that a level of influence came from the Megastar.
The contrast between Koratala and Meher is evident in this saga. Koratala Shiva's name resurfaced once again.
During the time of "Acharya," Koratala was criticized for the flop. However, the same cannot be said for Meher Ramesh as he cannot be completely blamed.
Koratala Shiva remained unacquainted with failure until "Acharya" delivered a significant blow.
Meher Ramesh is familiar with failures, having previously worked on movies like "Shakti" and "Shadow." Consequently, he is better equipped to withstand the criticism surrounding Bholaa Shankar.
This situation is more damaging to the Megastar than to Meher Ramesh.
