Dorothy: Can Karthik Subbaraj Win Back Big Stars?

Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy release

Following the terrible failure of Retro, director Karthik Subbaraj is all set to return with his indie film Dorothy, which is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 25th September.

While Dorothy already has a good pre-release buzz among the audience because of the positive responses from its screening at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the recently released trailer is also going viral on social media with positive feedback.

Consequently, many Karthik Subbaraj fans believe that Dorothy will also work for general audiences and emerge as a blockbuster success, helping him make a massive comeback.

Until Retro, Karthik Subbaraj was one of the most sought-after directors in South Indian cinema, and many leading actors from different industries really wished to work with him. However, the terrible failure of Retro completely collapsed his goodwill, and Karthik Subbaraj is now struggling to sustain his market.

Sources also suggest that because of the failure of Retro, big actors are hesitating to work with him. Furthermore, there is also information that after Dorothy, he is going to collaborate with actors Atharvaa and Prabhu Deva for a commercial entertainer.

In response to this downfall of Karthik Subbaraj, many feel that even though his recent films failed to meet expectations, he remains one of the finest commercial directors in Kollywood and claim that his comeback is essential for the industry.

Therefore, they hope that Karthik Subbaraj will make a massive comeback with the success of Dorothy, reclaim his throne, and collaborate with big stars again in the future.

Ultimately, the success of Dorothy is crucial for the director, and it remains to be seen whether it will satisfy the expectations of the audiences and emerge as a blockbuster success upon its release on September 25th.
