Meher Ramesh Silently Suffering

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Bhola Shankar is turning into one of the most significant recent disasters in Telugu cinema history, primarily due to the exorbitant costs involved.

Director Meher Ramesh, who faced considerable trolls for his earlier films like Shakti and Shadow” has now surpassed them with the failure of Bhola Shankar.

Mega fans are expressing their hate towards Meher for placing their hero in this awkward predicament.

While Meher cannot escape the blame, is it fair to solely target him? It’s an open secret how projects like Bhola Shankar would materialize.

Can a director like Meher Ramesh, who has delivered consecutive failures and whose last film was in 2013, convince a major star like Chiranjeevi to remake the 2015 Tamil film “Vedalam”?

Furthermore, there’s very little in Vedalam that can be refreshed for contemporary audiences. The only highlights (Ajith’s transformation scenes) from the original have been omitted from Bhola Shankar to prevent comparisons.

Setting aside all of these concerns, is Meher Ramesh truly in a position to dictate terms for the project, even though he’s the director?
