Superstar Mahesh Babu’s highly anticipated film SPYder is heading towards becoming a huge debacle. While the Telugu audience have rejected the film, Tamil audience reportedly embraced it. In Tamil Nadu, SPYder overpowered its competitors at box office and is minting decent money at box office. Responding on the divergent reception in the two languages for the same film, Murugadoss has given his version of analysis.
Murugadoss reportedly said that Mahesh is a superstar in Telugu states and that Telugu audience expected to see his heroism in SPYder. They might have felt disappointed to see insufficient heroism as it is a story-driven film, he cited.
Continuing further, he said, ‘On the other hand, Mahesh is a relatively new face to Tamil audience and they didn’t see him as a star. Hence they didn’t find a problem with not much heroism in the film and received it very well.’
Doesn’t Murugadoss’ excuse for SPYder’s debacle in Telugu look unconvincing and lame? He has been associated with the Telugu film industry for more than a decade and is well aware of what Telugu audiences like and dislike.
His ‘Ghajini’ became a blockbuster here. He directed Megastar Chiranjeevi in a direct Telugu film, ‘Stalin’, which should have taught him several lessons about dealing a Telugu star. His ‘7th Sense’ starring Suriya also had a massive release in Telugu.
Murugadoss should be well aware of what Telugu audience would expect when he was making an action thriller with a star hero. Moreover, audience felt cheated when a Robotic Spider was shown in the glimpse and also because of the repeated claims of makers that the film would offer adrenaline-pumping action scenes.
