Director Harish Shankar was the Chief Guest for the Papam Pratap trailer launch this afternoon. During his speech, Harish made some interesting comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile coming to this event, Sravanthi (Anchor) called me \u2018Papam Harish.\u2019 I initially thought she called me that because my film (Ustaad Bhagat Singh) did not do well in the theaters. Later, she addressed everyone with the prefix \u2018Papam,\u2019 so I thought it was okay,\u201d Harish Shankar joked.<\/p>\n
Harish Shankar\u2019s Ustaad Bhagat Singh ended up as a disaster at the box office. The movie was delayed for several years and there are many reasons for its failure.<\/p>\n
After the movie\u2019s release, Harish Shankar spent several days retweeting positive reviews and giving Post-release promotions. People on social media were cursing Harish for staying away from reality.<\/p>\n
But it appears Harish is aware of reality but he is only trying to push the film as much as possible from his side with those promotions.<\/p>\n
Probably, in hindsight, Harish was correct. Even though the result looks clear, a director can not abandon the film. Social Media is wrong to call him delusional. Harish is definitely more talented than he appears today.<\/p>\n
A delayed project like Ustaad Bhagat Singh and a project squeezed in as a filler (Mr Bachchan) are not right indications of his caliber. He is someone who remade a film (like Gabbar Singh) and made it even better than the Original.<\/p>\n
People writing him off should actually wait for his next project. We will see if he can make a comeback!<\/p>\n
For that to happen, Harish should close his eyes and ears for some time and work in peace to unravel his real strength.<\/p>\n
