In a few hours from now, Ram Charan would have completed 9 years as a star in Telugu film industry. Yes, he was one of the few actors who were a star right from the first film, courtesy of Megastar’s legacy.
With Chirutha he made a confident debut that pleased his fans. It made sure he was here to stay and that was proved right immediately with the second film Magadheera that shattered all Telugu film records back then. Ever since then he has been struggling to get the right film that would make him a hot star at the box office. He has had successful films like Racha, Naayak and Yevadu but they made him a stereotyped mass hero with no real mark or strength of own to show.
Every top star today has a mark which resulted in following for them but with Ram Charan that mark is still missing. The star has not been able to produce that big grosser where he gets the due credit for its success as well. It is this aspect that needs to be corrected for Charan to grow big. Will Dhruva be the one starting the rebuilding process?
Dhruva is made on the same Geetha Arts banner which gave him career’s biggest success. It is clearly not a run of the mill film too. If this succeeds, it could surely be a new turning point for him. However, more than the success he needs to create a “mark” and Sukumar’s film as follow-up could be the right move. With Chiranjeevi returning and others from family at their peak, Charan currently appears weakest of them all. One hopes in the coming years he turns that around.
