Directors, like actors, once successful face the pressure to back up successful performance with another one just as big or better. Once a director makes this awesome movie, commerical or art house, they get noticed by the 'ruling' stars and face the pressure to follow up their movie with another one-- but it typically comes with a need to make it a Hit. Thats why Vishal B who was a nobody till Kaminey, Omkara is known to make these critically acclaimed movies that every actor wants do to get credibility... but they come with limitations, expecations and at the end, their work gets compromised. Ditto for the guy who made Agent Vinod, RGV. Madhur is an example of Old wine in a new bottle. Page 3, Fashion, Heroine were similar subjects.
Ofcourse there are exceptions. But really, what do you expect when you make this fabulous movie with great casting and then a wannabe film with a popular star who probably hasnt really acted since his first Botox job?😆
