Why Sequel of Nani was Dropped ? SJ Suryah reveals Truth
Mahesh Babu's "Nani" struggled to engage audiences and did not have the same level of popularity as its predecessor. This result emphasises how challenging it is to capture the enchantment of a popular original, especially when dealing with challenging narrative adjustments. Recently, director SJ Suryah gave an open interview about it.
In the first book, the protagonist's life was intimately entwined with a special twist: he spent the day as an 8-year-old child and at night transitioned into a 28-year-old teenager. The story's attractiveness and interest stemmed from the changing aspect of the narrative. Suryah considered the possibility of a sequel and realised a significant difficulty. The young boy, who had been the core of the story's premise, had grown up by the end of the first movie. This development posed a problem: how could a sequel maintain its grip on the audience while staying true to the established premise?
Although Suryah's approach was creative, it had its own set of challenges. The youngster and his father would always be 28 years old during the day in the imagined sequel. The son would stay at age 28, while the father would get older to 50 during the course of the night. Even when the characters grew older, the goal of this novel's premise was to maintain the essence of the original.
However, as Suryah admitted, the creation of the daytime story ended up being the difficulty. Suryah thought that the possibility of the girl falling in love with the son and her father-in-law presented challenges for the story, both aesthetically and in terms of the audience's reaction. The emotional resonance that made the original movie effective ran the risk of being undermined by this intricate love triangle.
