Judging by the trends, Telugu audiences have been flocking to theaters in great numbers to watch Tamil films like Thangalaan and Demonte Colony 2, while the major Telugu releases have not seen much footfall. Despite the big budgets and star power leading the projects, these films have received criticism from audiences for offering mediocre content. Puri Jagannadh, who had pinned all his hopes on Double iSmart after his major flop Liger, is set to face yet another massive loss with Ram Pothineni’s film. Ravi Teja, who has been witnessing a string of losses in recent years, has another film to add to his list of flops.
Plots of Mr. Bachchan and Double iSmart
Directed by Harish Shankar, Mr. Bachchan is the official remake of Raid (2018), which revolves around an honest income tax officer’s mission to tackle a corrupt businessman. On the other hand, Ram Pothineni’s Double iSmart centers on an assassin who has a chip implanted in his brain.
