What's the need for Sequel when there are no demands?
- Pan-India's success requires careful planning and budget control.
- Universal storytelling is crucial.
- Unnecessary sequels and added elements can harm the narrative.
Until recently, telugu films were predominantly released in a single language, with occasional releases in one or two additional languages. However, the game-changer arrived with Rajamouli's Baahubali, which achieved unprecedented success across telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and hindi markets. This groundbreaking feat shifted the focus of the industry towards Pan-India films, sparking a new era of cinematic ambition.
Making Pan-India films requires universal themes, cross-language appeal, and substantial budgets. However, some directors rush into production without budget control, prioritizing funding over storytelling, and risking unnecessary sequels and unmet audience expectations. However, some directors hastily announce Pan-India projects without budget control, prioritizing securing funds over thoughtful storytelling.  This leads to unnecessary sequels, driven by initial success rather than narrative merit
Lack of budget control often prompts hasty film announcements, driven by securing funds rather than thoughtful storytelling. This approach can lead to elevated audience expectations, fueled by the success of the initial installment. In an attempt to create scope for sequels, filmmakers often artificially inflate the first installment with unnecessary elements, such as Irrelevant songs and unwarranted action scenes. These additions disrupt the narrative flow, diluting the story's impact and potentially alienating audiences. Consequently, the first part's storytelling strength is compromised.
