Two directors from the South Indian film industry, Prasanth Neel and Sandeep Reddy, are gaining massive attention from Bollywood’s top actors. Their movies, “KGF,” “Salaar,” and “Animal,” have achieved tremendous success across India.
Sandeep Reddy’s “Animal” became a sensation and a huge hit, attracting interest from renowned actors across India. Similarly, Prasanth Neel’s “KGF” and “Salaar” have garnered immense popularity, drawing attention from pan-India stars looking to collaborate with him.
Recent failures of Bollywood superstars like Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have made them cautious about working with new directors, fearing more box office disappointments. Hence, they are now pursuing directors with established success rates like Prasanth Neel and Sandeep Reddy.
Prasanth Neel’s success with “Salaar” has intensified the Bollywood stars’ desire to work with him. It is even being speculated that Aamir Khan approached Prashanth Neel for a film collaboration, but Neel’s prior commitments made him reject Aamir’s proposal. Neel won’t be available for another four years and this left Aamir disappointed.
Similarly, there’s talk that Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan is considering teaming up with Sandeep Reddy, but the director’s current unavailability has postponed any potential collaboration.
Overall, Bollywood’s leading stars are pursuing South Indian directors known for delivering successful films, indicating a shift towards seeking out these directors to secure box office hits.
