Growing rumors suggest that Jr.
ntr would work with either Nelson or Vetrimaaran on one of his upcoming movies, which has fans debating on
social media who would be a better
director for him.
ntr has always loved Vetrimaaran, who is renowned for his socially conscious and challenging films; the actor himself brought up the subject during a recent
press conference in Chennai. However, while Vetrimaaran is highly regarded, his films generally pander to the
tamil population and dwell extensively on themes of tyranny. This could not be appealing to NTR's wider
mass audience, especially in the
telugu market.
Vetrimaaran's limited pan-Indian distribution has also sparked doubts about the partnership's potential at the box office. Supporters worry that a collaboration between the two may lead to a letdown such to that of Rajinikanth's movies
kabali and Kaala, in which the audience's expectations for a Rajinikanth picture were not met by the
director Pa Ranjith's approach. Nelson, who most recently helmed Jailer, appears to be a more viable option for
ntr, though.
Nelson offers a mix of action, humor, and drama, and he has a track record of striking a balance between eccentric narrative and commercial aspects. His movies, like Jailer, are renowned for bringing out the best in stars, even with straightforward narratives, and for creating thrilling, action-packed scenes that thrill audiences. Nelson could be the safer and more financially feasible choice for NTR's next major project due to his widespread appeal and talent for producing
mass entertainment. Although each filmmaker has advantages and disadvantages, Nelson could be a better fit for
ntr in terms of
box office performance.
