Who Was RGV Speaking About In Tollywood?

Maverick filmmaker has a habit of sparking controversies and raising debates through his statements in interviews. His opinions are usually quite hard-hitting and people may not take it so well at times. But his knowledge over the film world is something that should never be questioned. Starting from filmmaking to the business in movies, he is expertise is parallel to none.

Recently, the 'Shiva' director spoke about how dangerous it would prove to be if mythologies are made without care. He shared another incident where a big Telugu hero ran his film in theatres just to avoid his fans from getting hurt. He said, “There is one particular, a big star in Telugu. His film, at some point of time, has come into a deficit in theatres. A corporate company which did the film with the star wanted to remove it from theatres. But, the fans of the star felt it as a insult if the film does not run in theatres, at least, for a particular time.”

He added, “So, the hero called the corporate company said that he will use his money to run the film for some time in theatres. And then, this was somewhere not communicated to the distributors. So, they stopped putting Ads in newspapers since they were not given the budget for the same. In reality, the film is running but there is no Ad. This kind of thing completely turned off the heroes.”

A lot of insiders are predicting that it might be either Mahesh babu or Prabhas. What do you think? Who is that big star in Telugu?
