RRR was a game-changer for both Ram Charan and Jr. NTR. Before this blockbuster, the two actors had already delivered hits, but RRR transformed them into pan-India superstars. Director SS Rajamouli is known for giving his actors a major boost in their careers, often helping them achieve pan-India recognition.
However, there’s a long-standing belief in the film industry known as the “Rajamouli flop sentiment.” It’s a notion that suggests that after working with Rajamouli, the heroes’ next films tend to flop. This belief has been around for years, causing concern for fans of Ram Charan and Jr. NTR following the success of RRR. Fans worried that their favorite stars might struggle to maintain their momentum after the massive success of Rajamouli’s film.
Jr. NTR Breaks the Myth with Devara
Despite the anxiety, Jr. NTR shattered the Rajamouli flop sentiment with his next movie, Devara. The film turned out to be a huge success, defying all expectations. Not only did Devara avoid the so-called curse, but it also broke several box office records and brought in massive collections. Jr. NTR’s triumph with Devara led fans to celebrate his achievement, leaving them to believe that the Rajamouli flop sentiment had finally been broken for good.
Ram Charan’s Next Move: Game Changer
While Jr. NTR has managed to break the curse, the pressure is now on Ram Charan. Like his co-star, Charan gained immense popularity post-RRR. Now, all eyes are on his upcoming film, Game Changer, directed by Shankar. If Ram Charan delivers a hit with Game Changer, it would completely shatter the Rajamouli flop sentiment.
Unfortunately, Game Changer has faced numerous delays, increasing fans’ anxiety. The production team has promised to release the film during the Sankranti festival, but concerns remain. The recent release of Shankar’s Indian 2 was met with poor reviews, further adding to the nervousness of Ram Charan’s fans.
Will Ram Charan Break the Curse?
The stakes are high for Game Changer. If the film receives positive reviews and performs well at the box office, Ram Charan will also have succeeded in breaking free from the Rajamouli flop sentiment. Both Jr. NTR and Ram Charan have packed schedules with multiple projects lined up, ensuring their continued presence in the film industry. Fans are hopeful that both stars will continue to deliver hits, keeping the momentum going.
