Reason behind Rajamouli success and Shankar downfall

It is not easy to achieve success in the film industry. Directors who once scored blockbusters are now reeling under string of flops.

Sometime back Tamil director Shankar created a sensation and everyone used to draw inspiration and make films. Rajamouli who is one among them is now creating sensation while Shankar is reeling under the string of flops.

Shankar who made his debut with Gentleman left everyone stunned. Later his films created a sensation. He earned the reputation that no one can match him using the technology and create graphics and visual wonders on the big screen and blending them with commercial elements. However over the last ten years his graph came so down that no one talking about him.

Rajamouli now created sensation with visual extravaganze. He is now doing Varanasi with Mahesh Babu. The difference between Rajamouli and Shankar is Rajamouli has clarity over his story anhd from the small idea to the script development process, he ensures that there will not be even a single mistake. He plans everything as to what the story requires, the designing of the characcteres and where viewers get high moments and he presents them on screen in an engaging manner.So all his films turned out to be hits.

But Shankar concentrates only on visuals and grandiose in the films and donot bother about other things and this impacted this films performances.Sujatha Ranganathan worked as a writer for Shankar's Gentelman till Robot as per Shankar's ideologies. However after his demise, Shankar's stories lacked the soul and this is resulting in flops.
