Mega Star Chiranjeevi who attended the trailer launch event of Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha in Hyderabad the other day, exploded on the directors. Showering praises on Aamir Khan and the Bollywood style of filmmaking, he said he loves the Bollywood style of filmmaking saying that they go to the sets only after locking the script.
He said unlike Aamir Khan, he played a safe game by doing commercial entertainers but at times even that failed. He then said that of late Tollywood directors are coming to the sets and then penning dialogues. Exploding further on the directors, he wondered whether stars should practice dialogues on the sets or act what they are known for. Now people are wondering whom Chiru is targeting.
Some say Chiranjeevi is unable to come out of Acharya shock which turned out to be the biggest disaster not only in his career but in Tollywood and so targeted the director Koratala Shiva. Others say Chiranjeevi is unfair in targeting Koratala Shiva and point out that in the case of small hero films, directors can have their way but in the case of top stars like Chiranjeevi, directors cannot get away scot-free. They say Chiranjeevi is trying to shift the entire blame of the Acharya debacle on Koratala Shiva, turning him into a scapegoat. People feel that Chiranjeevi should be sportive and accept Acharya as a collective failure as it was he who turned the script meant for Ram Charan to play the lead role, instead of trying to escape from the stark reality.
