For the past few days, Ravi Babu has been all over social media for his unfiltered speeches on multiple issues in the industry while promoting his new film, Razor. His no-holds-barred approach took everyone by surprise as the director didn’t even hesitate in bringing up some topics that other filmmakers mostly try to avoid.
However, the aggressive promotions and attention-grabbing statements of Ravi Babu failed to draw audiences to the theatres. Razor witnessed poor occupancies all over, despite open ground in the marketplace. Those who saw the film felt that Ravi Babu’s film featured good action sequences, but complained about the predictable narration and lack of thrills.
After Avunu, Ravi Babu hasn’t delivered a film that matched audience expectations, and it remains to be seen whether the director can stage a strong comeback. Razor was jointly backed by Flying Frogs and Suresh Productions.
