His films usually had huge sets, expensive action scenes, and a huge, exciting feel.
But things have changed a lot after a series of problems with movies like Game Changer and Indian 2.
The main problem now is that producers are not trusting Shankar as much as before.
His big, complex project called Velpari, which was supposed to be a multi-part film with a huge budget, is having trouble moving forward. The financial risks are just too big right now. At the same time, Indian 3 is also stuck with unfinished work and unclear plans for when it will come out.
Because of all this, people in Chennai’s film industry are talking a lot about one main idea.
Shankar might finally be ready to take a step back from huge budgets and big visual styles, at least for now. Some reports say he’s planning a faster, more action-packed movie that can be made within a smaller budget and a shorter time frame.
Interestingly, this could be the best move for him at the moment.
Instead of spending years on a risky, big-budget project, he seems to be focusing on showing his talent through good storytelling and strong execution.
Industry insiders suggest the new movie might be more like Kaithi or Vikram, where the story and the excitement are what make the film work, rather than big production costs.
