Misusing Fahadh Faasil: Did Sukumar Do It Wantedly?

The theatrical debut of the second part of Pushpa has finally happened, and the film is pulling the audience to theatres in big numbers. While the box office run of this Allu Arjun film is on one side, there is already a parallel talk about the merits and demerits.One of the main complaints for the film is that Fahad Fazil, who is one of the most gifted actors of this generation in South cinema has been grossly misused in the film.

Those who have watched the film are commenting that Fahad‘s character was criminal, underplayed, and undercooked in the film. While the potential of the actor is anyway not utilised in the film, it is strange to see that his character was oddly under utilised. In the end, Fahad’s character ends on a very funky and irrational note. However, there might be fair bit of calculation from Sukumar when it comes to presenting this character, the way he did.

Notably, both parts of Pushpa had enough action and intense drama associated with them, and it would have been an overkill had the second part also rallied entirely on the conflict between Allu Arjun and Fahad. This could be the reason why Sukumar gave Fahad character in the film, a light hearted and easy ending, perhaps to make it look more non-serious and de-escalate the intense narrative. This could have very well been a calculated call from Sukumar, knowing the risks that come with it. But those who have watched the first part and thought Sukumar would be a super intense and majestic role for Fahad in the second part are now disappointed with what actually happened with this character.

Mahesh really enjoyed working for Mufasa – Namrata

For the first time ever, Superstar Mahesh Babu has decided to lend his voice to a Hollywood dubbed film in Telugu. He lent his deep base and incredible voice to Mufasa, the lead character of upcoming Disney’s live action animation film, Mufasa: The Lion King.

Namrata Ghattamaneni, wife of Superstar Mahesh Babu, attended promotional event. Talking at the event, she stated that Mahesh doesn’t feel comfortable dubbing for his own films also but he tried it out for the first time ever in his career.

She remarked that everyone in their family is also eagerly waiting to watch the film on big screen this 20th December upon release. She revealed that Mahesh enjoyed the challenge and the film very much. The Lion King has become a huge blockbuster as an animated movie and also upon releasing as live action film, five years ago.

Disney is expecting Mufasa: The Lion King to be even bigger blockbuster with Mahesh Babu voicing the lead character.
