Director digging his own grave! !!

Although it's too harsh to make such statement, one gets the same feeling looking at the desperate attempts of director Gunasekhar to make a strong comeback. This fading director has chosen a woman oriented script now and being the producer, he has prepared himself to spend nothing short of Rs 40 crore on it! Why does he want to take such a huge risk when he has a series of flops under his belt?

A film like Damarukam which was made with a budget of over Rs 40 crore with stars Nagarjuna & Anushka failed to recover all of it's investment prior to the release and now due to the average talk, everyone associated with the film including the producer, distributors and buyers will be incurring heavy losses. Then how could Rudrama Devi which has Anushka alone end up making table profits? Seems like Gunasekhar has learnt nothing from the huge failures he tasted due to lavish sets starting from Arjun to Varudu.

When a magnum opus film like Arundathi which has perfect blend of gripping screenplay and breathtaking visuals can be made with a budget of Rs 13 crore, why can't Gunasekhar focus on making Rudrama Devi at least on a moderate budget around Rs 25 crore? Point to be noted!
