Superstar Rajnikanth, Megastar Chiranjeevi and Universal hero Kamal Haasan. They are the biggest names in South cinema if not in Indian cinema. They have been ruling their respective industries for the past 4-5 decades. Despite being in their 60s and 70s, they are still setting an example for the younger generation regarding dedication, focus and discipline in various aspects of life. But the three legends have recently committed huge blunders regarding their script choices.
Chiranjeevi came up with ‘Bholaa Shankar’ last year. The movie never had a positive vibe around it and people did not care to watch it by evening on the first day. It was a nightmare for the mega fans. Disasters are not new to Chiranjeevi as he had some in his illustrious career but the result of ‘Bholaa Shankar’ shook him so much that he canceled Kalyan Krishna’s project which he okayed and decided to try something new with ‘Viswambhara’.
Superstar Rajnikanth did ‘Laal Salaam’ after a blockbuster like ‘Jailer’ out of love for his daughter. It garnered a lot of negativity that none of his previous failures managed to get. Even Netflix which bought the OTT rights is not streaming it. Fans have forgotten this film and decided not to talk about it again.
For Kamal, it came in the form of ‘Indian 2’. His own Tamil Nadu crowd rejected such a prestigious sequel so badly that it did not even get a collection of 50 crores at the end of the first week. The much-awaited combo of Shankar and Kamal has disappointed big time. At this age, these three legends are doing films out of passion but not for money.
Rajni is doing ‘Coolie’, Chiru is doing ‘Viswambhara’ while Kamal has ‘Thug Life’ lined up. Such great actors need quality scripts and the directors need to make sure that they don’t the legacy of these legends by making such duds once again.
