Will 'Businessman 2' work out?

Tue 17th Jan 2012 01:07 PM

Director Puri Jagnnath is going his Guru Ramgopal Varma’s way. With blessings of Varma, he directed Amitabh in ‘Buddah Hoga Tera Baap.’ No wonder he got some of his whims though in streaks. After the success of ‘Businessman,’ here is Puri said that he will be doing sequel to the same which will start by this year end and obviously Mahesh Babu will be the hero. RGV was known for announcing sequels like ‘Sarkar’ and ‘Sarkar Raj’ materialized. ‘Rakta Charita’ was the other he announced along with some others. Sequel or a series need to have a story line and in ‘Businessman,’ you have only Mahesh Babu.  Everything revolves him and the film is a commercial entertainer. If that is the yardstick to measure good films, well let wisdom prevail on film makers. Mahesh still has steam and if Puri uses it in the proper way and tag a storyline which is convincing alongside his usual violence and one-liners to demean others, one might have to wait see for final collection reports. Releasing a film in every available theatre during festival season with little or no competition and blowing up the trumpet of a commercial success will convince only the mercantile part of project but not the qualitative part. So, let us wait and see how far Puri will make ‘businessman 2’ work out in idea and implementation.
