The tentatively titled ‘Legend’ movie of Balakrishna is generating quite a lot of interest both in film and political circles. Reason is, Nandamuri Nata Simham is moving close with TDP cadres these days and has also announced the idea of contesting for Assembly in coming elections. So, ‘Legend’ movie not only has a cinematic purpose but there is also a political purpose behind. At this juncture, director Boyapati Srinu will have an extra burden to make this film stand on par with expectations of Fans and TDP followers.
As we all know, Srinu is an expert in the mass genre. It’s the problem with his stereotypic treatment and identical narration which made ‘Simha’ a big hit and ‘Dammu,’ a big flop. So, Srinu has to come out of his natural flair with some kind of modifications definitely needed to offer a different cinema viewing experience. No problems with Balakrishna’s heroism or the content selection, there is only one problem with Boyapati which should not differ with the BO result of ‘Legend.’
