Is Trivikram’s Recent Filmmaking Style Disappointing Audiences?

In the past, Trivikram Srinivas’s films were known not only for their memorable dialogues but also for the distinctiveness of every character. The way he developed Sunil and Prakash Raj’s roles in Nuvve Nuvve remains memorable for audiences even today. His films once gave strong importance to supporting characters alongside the lead actors. However, recent releases have sparked criticism that second heroes and female leads are not receiving the prominence they deserve. This has led to discussions about whether the filmmaker’s approach to character development has changed over the years.

The roles played by Sushanth in Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and Nara Rohith in Aadarsha Kutumbam have raised similar questions among viewers. Apart from Anupama Parameswaran’s role in Aa Aa, there is also a perception that second female leads in several of his other films have not received enough scope. From Parvati Melton in Jalsa to Nivetha Pethuraj in Aadarsha Kutumbam, the discussion about the importance given to supporting roles continues. Some viewers feel that despite assurances about the significance of these characters, they are ultimately limited to a few scenes. There is growing opinion that filmmakers should write substantial roles when casting well-known actors, ensuring that their presence adds meaningful value to the story.
