Tollywood Sequels - No Demands, Just Cash Grab on Fan Excitement
In the tollywood business, "sequel"mania is what's driving star heroes insane at the moment. This is due to movies like Baahubali 2 and kgf 2, which have achieved enormous box office success. While pushpa 2 is currently the most anticipated sequel, when pushpa initially came out, it was met with largely negative reviews, to say nothing of rumors of a follow-up. But pushpa 2 was made possible by the incredible success in the hindi belt; the rest is history.
Despite Salaar's monetary success, both prabhas and prashant Neel, the film's director, seem disinterested in a sequel, since they have gone on to other projects. Despite the fact that Salaar finishes with a Salaar 2 end card, it is unclear if or when it will be produced. In the sake of world-building, Prabhas's most recent movie, kalki 2898 AD, which was directed by Nag Ashwin, had an incredibly dull first half. However, what good is world-building if the hero's character isn't really developed? Everyone was left scratching their brains about this. The finale of kalki Part 1 has at least succeeded in inspiring nag ashwin to write a stronger Part 2.

But the same problem remains: the hero's signing two movies in quick succession casts doubt on when kalki Part 2 will release. Projects with sandeep Vanga, Maruthi, and Hanu Raghavapudi have already been inked by Prabhas. He refrained from doing so for Baahubali 2 in order to demonstrate his level of faith in the first installment before its premiere. The most recent example that fits this description is Devara, a film directed by NTR. According to a writer such as Koratala, he didn't know the picture needed to be split into two parts until he had begun filming. As a consequence, he toned down the climax of Part One.
Similar to prabhas, ntr is now filming war 2, and he will shortly begin working with prashant Neel. Why begin a second movie if the director and hero were sincere about Devara Part 2? The simple fact is that none of these have a compelling cliffhanger like Baahubali; instead, they are just name-sake sequels that have been teased, with no indication of when they will be released.
Furthermore, there is little public appetite for these sequels; nobody is discussing or enthusiastically anticipating their publication. However, that does not imply that, should they be produced, no one will watch these sequels. The branding and title penetration are already completed and will produce significant results. But the truth is, nobody is requesting them.
