For a film to gather heat at Box Office during the pre release promotions, value of star cast and a portion of technical crew can cumulate to gather the significance where people tend to discuss about the film. Star hero movies obviously have faces of heroes as major attraction and public attention pulling factors. In rare cases, directors like SS Rajamouli, VV Vinayak, Sukumar, Trivikram etc have roused the popularity to a new level and their name is providing value addition for any project associated.
‘Bahubali’ success had its share in marketing the product while brand names of SS Rajamouli, Prabhas, Anushka, Tamanna, Rana helped in publicity in early times of conceptualization. If ‘Bahubali’ is rated as a collective effort from every member associated in carving the magnum opus, public are seeing ‘Srimanthudu’ as a pure Mahesh Babu film with a dominating one-man show.
Koratala Siva’s story, dialogue writing or Madhie’s camera work, DSP’s rocking music score are cornered by the majestic presence of Mahesh Babu. Today, heavy crowds are thronging to ‘Srimanthudu’ theaters basically due to Mahesh Babu Factor which is surely far above all the ruling brands of Tollywood. Yes, the Telugu Super Star is brightly shining as ‘Srimanthudu.’
