Dhurandhar 2 Effect: Big Telugu Projects Getting Changed

Once a different kind of film that will disrupt all the pre-existing ideas so far, surely many filmmakers will follow suit. That happened with movies like Siva, Sankarabharanam, Pokiri, Baahubali, KGF, and Animal, and continues to happen many a time. But like how Shiva changed the thought process of filmmakers forever, even the Dhurandhar series has changed in the same way now.

Dhurandhar 2 has a different type of storytelling. Anyone who has narrated something like Dhurandhar 2 would have been written off in the Telugu industry, as biggies say it is more of documentary material. However, director Aditya Dhar has proven that even a documentary-style narrative could be wrapped with emotions and twists. Now, many Telugu biggies who have carved out something like this are said to be asking their directors to revisit the scripts and carve them out like Dhurandhar. That’s the effect Aditya Dhar has created.

Some reports are doing rounds that many Telugu stars who have similar spy thrillers and other patriotic stories are now making huge changes to their stories after watching the Dhurandhar series. Though everyone cannot afford to pump in huge money to carve out a movie like Dhurandhar, surely the thought process gets affected, as if the Aditya Dhar model will work.
