There is no debating the fact that SS Rajamouli is the biggest commercial filmmaker in all of Indian cinema. His consistency and potency are unrivaled. Though there might be occasional competitors, Rajamouli is beyond this league.
But coming to the Telugu market, interestingly, there is one director who appears to be loved more than Rajamouli and he is Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
After Nag Ashwin posted yesterday that team Kalki could reach 1000 crore without violence and provocation, all of Telugu Twitter entered a warzone. There were multiple arguments that Ashwin was referring to Vanga’s Animal by saying violence and provocation.
Interestingly, the Telugu Twitter space was entirely in favor of Sandeep Reddy Vanga on this matter.
“Ashwin needed Mahabharatha, star cameos and 600 crore budgets to make Kalki do whatever it did at box office. But Vanga did it with A rated film, 100 crore budget and a whole lot of negativity from day 1 with Animal. Vanga is a different breed.” The majority of these comments read.
The Telugu Twitter batch entirely rallying behind Vanga is an interesting move. This is the first time the Telugu space rallied behind a director so very passionately.
Ideally, it should be Rajamouli who must be getting this much love, but the narrative of preferences of heroes presentation in RRR has kept him in the bad books of certain NTR fans. So, he is almost always under the pump from a section of Telugu Twitter batch when there is a discussion about him.
In the case of Vanga, he appears to have appeased the entire section of Telugu Twitter space with Arjun Reddy and Animal. With Spirit, he can cement this position further.
