Bollywood chases routine director Atlee, ignores Lokesh Kanagaraj
Tamil director Atlee has not been able to fully captivate Telugu audiences, who often perceive his films as derivative and unoriginal.
But in stark contrast, another Tamil director, Lokesh Kanagaraj, is highly acclaimed among Telugu audiences for his visionary storytelling and innovative narrative techniques.
But Atlee’s fortunes take a different turn in the north. Following the huge success of Jawan, which grossed over 120 Crores, Atlee has become known as one of the most respected directors in India, especially in Bollywood.
Atlee was very much in demand in the Bollywood world and his popularity skyrocketed, leading to him being invited to prestigious events and award ceremonies.
At Ambani’s recent pre-wedding party, where Atlee also attended, Ranveer Singh expressed the excitement that many Bollywood actors feel at the opportunity to work with Ambani.
They hope that Atlee will work his magic and rise to stardom like he did with Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan.
On the other hand, Lokesh Kanagaraj, despite being recognized as an exceptional talent, is yet to capture the attention of pan-India audiences.
To expand his reach beyond South India, he needed to direct a major pan-Indian project in collaboration with one of the industry’s biggest stars, thereby showcasing his directorial talents to a wider audience. There may be.
