Nithiin’s latest film Thammudu, directed by Venu Sriram, has received largely negative feedback from audiences and critics alike.
The film struggled at the box office on its first day, collecting less than Rs. 1 crore in the Telugu states.
While Nithiin’s star power seems to be diminishing, it’s producer Dil Raju who is now under fire for backing the project.
Once celebrated for his script sense, Dil Raju has been consistently missing the mark in recent years.
He heavily promoted Thammudu, calling it a strong comeback for Nithiin and promising an engaging theatrical experience.
However, viewers have described the movie as underwhelming across all fronts.
Paid premieres were held ahead of the release, further confusing audiences who questioned the hype.
Despite a reported budget of over Rs. 70 crores, the film failed to generate a return on investment.
With several flops in a row, including Game Changer, Dil Raju’s choices are being scrutinized.
His future projects will determine whether he can restore his golden reputation.
