It is one thing to say that the glimpse video of Pawan Kalyan's upcoming movie 'OG' is awesome. It is another thing to suggest as though Sujeeth is the next Lokesh Kanagaraj or Prashanth Neel.
This is what Netizens are doing on social media platforms. Sujeeth has previously directed just two films: 'Run Raja Run' and 'Saaho'. The latter was low on substance. It didn't become a hit in Telugu. Its only achievement was an awesome teaser.
Telugu audience are warm and all. Sometimes, they go overboard with their love. Even after a decade of mediocrity, they continue to hold respect for Puri Jagannadh. It takes just one awesome film for the Telugu audience to praise a director to the skies and never stop doing it.
When a director is exposed to unprecedented attention and praise, he tends to take certain things for granted. There is a danger that complacency might set in. Filmmakers like Puri Jagannadh have become over-confident mainly because of his uncritical and over-sentimental fans.
Let 'OG' come out in theatres first. Let's wait for the film before showering superlative praises on Sujeeth. Otherwise, we might end up harming him unwittingly.
