When Pawan Kalyan directed ‘Johnny,’ though the film was flop… the respect cinema lovers had for him hasn’t changed much. Later on, there was a row of failures shook his career. Especially, ‘Balu, Gudumha Shankar’ stood as epitome to showcase the kind of inconvenient intervention Pawan makes into direction disturbing the very importance of a director’s profession.
One do not know, how far Trivikram Srinivas or Puri Jagannath or Harish Shankar would have mended their ways to work with Power Star but the positive Box Office results of their projects marred the subject of Pawan’s fingering. Now, the same subject is back into discussion with ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ because Pawan Kalyan took the credits of penning the story and screenplay of this commercial potboiler (as what it senses from trailer).
‘Even at audio launch, it was hard to see director Bobby just standing like a marionette clapping, laughing and showing the gratitude to Power Star. Never the less, the trailer was also typically Pawan Kalyan flavored with Bobby’s mark no where felt. It is also learnt from other media sources that Pawan is Kartha, Karma and Kriya for SGS.
If such is the case of his monarchy, he would have directed ‘Sardaar’ on own. Why does he need directors or what’s the kind of he had towards them? If the film turns out a hit, Pawan Fans run away with entire credit else just transfer the blame on director,’ an expression heard in film circles after watching the whole drama at audio launch and proceeding events.
