R Narayana Murthy Criticizes Slow Film Production and Calls for Quality Content R Narayana Murthy, a prominent figure in the Telugu film industry, recently expressed his views on the current state of cinema during a director’s event in Hyderabad. Speaking at the occasion, Murthy highlighted the challenges faced by the industry, particularly the decline in the number of big-budget films released during the summer season. He emphasized the need for a return to the fast-paced production trends seen in the past, when directors like Dasari Narayana Rao could consistently deliver multiple films within a short span. Murthy recalled how such rapid output helped sustain the industry’s momentum and ensure steady revenue from theaters. Murthy pointed out that the current trend of directors taking over two to three years to complete a single film has disrupted the industry’s rhythm. He noted that even medium-budget filmmakers are now facing delays, which has led to a stagnation in the market. This, he argued, has contributed to the decline of single-screen theaters, which rely on a consistent supply of films to stay afloat. Murthy criticized the tendency of some filmmakers to prioritize quantity over quality, warning that subpar content could further harm the industry. He cited examples of past filmmakers like K. Raghavendra Rao, who could manage multiple shoots simultaneously and take full responsibility for their projects. Murthy contrasted this with the current scenario, where stars like Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, Allu Arjun, and Mahesh Babu are releasing only one film per year, which he called “impossible” for the industry to sustain. He stressed that maintaining high standards is crucial, as the recent years have seen numerous box-office flops that have left theaters struggling.#hyderabad #telugu_film_industry #r_narayana_murthy #dasari_narayana_rao #k_raghavendra_rao
