Ravi Teja was the one who introduced Harish Shankar as a director with the film Shock. While the movie didn’t perform well at the box office, it garnered a positive response when broadcast on television, with both Ravi Teja and Harish Shankar praised for their innovative approach. Their second collaboration, Mirapakay, was a major hit, but their third film, Mr. Bachchan, faced significant criticism.
This action drama, an official remake of Ajay Devgn’s popular film Raid, failed at the box office. The addition of unnecessary commercial elements and an extended love track detracted from the main storyline, leading to its downfall. The film is set to debut on Netflix on September 12.
With a four-week theatrical window, it will be interesting to see how Mr. Bachchan performs on digital platforms. Bhagyashri Borse, who made her Telugu debut with this film, played the female lead. Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad of People Media Factory and featuring music by Mickey J. Meyer, the film had a mixed reception.
