Just today,  The Opinionated Indian dropped a blind item that suggested a South Indian superstar was contemplating the very release of his much-anticipated and costly film. Now, with another giant saga and its sequel aligned for the same holiday release, the actor is said to be in two minds concerning the clash, mainly because sources are saying that the script and the size of his film might not be the same as the audience's expectations this time around.

Blind Item

This South Indian superstar rose to become a household name across the country after the blockbuster success of his action franchise. While the first film in the franchise did not break box office records, the sequel stunned trade pundits in Bollywood & even South India. His last release was three years back. His next film was slated to be released on a major religious holiday next year. As per a source the unexpected craze for a spy thriller that released a few weeks back has made the superstar reconsider his decision. The spy thriller's sequel is also scheduled to release on the same religious holiday. The superstar feels that his movie is directed by a "not so big" director, & the spy thriller was helmed by a filmmaker who seems to know the pulse of the audiences - both his movies turned out to be blockbusters. He has been asking for some changes in the script & reshoots. He is aware that the movie is not in the league of this action franchise. The audience will reject anything that isn't path-breaking, and it will be safer not to clash with the sequel to the movie of the year. Script changes will take time & it is unlikely that the movie will be able to release on its scheduled date.

The pan-India star who completely captivated the nation with the character of a gangster-turned-hero, is said to be well aware of the pressure that comes along with every new project he signs, according to industry insiders. He has raised the bar of mass cinema with his last two mega-hits to such a degree that even he knows it is hard to replicate. The actor is cautious not to deliver anything that would be considered smaller in scale or ambition, while the fans are already anticipating the next movie to be nothing less than a seismic spectacle.

The action-drama movie, which the actor is currently working on, has already piqued massive curiosity, but the people involved with the project have so far revealed that it will probably not reach the level of hype unprecedented by his previous trilogy. The production is reportedly tweaking the tone, size, and speed to make sure it is worthy of the star’s heritage. However, the prolonging of reshoots and script changes has resulted in increasing uncertainty about whether the film could keep its original energy — and its planned release date.
