2024 actually ended the careers of Srinu Vaitla and Puri Jagannath.

I mean SSR,VV vinayak, Srinu Vaitla and Puri Jagannath used to be the big 4 14 years ago but the last decade changed everything.SSR just gave back to back blockbusters with Eega,Bahubali 1&2,RRR and cemented his position as the biggest director in not only tfi but the entire country but the other 3 couldn't catch up/change themselves creatively and it ended their careers while Sukku and Guruji took their spots. This year both Puri and Vaitla gave disasters through Double Ismart and Viswam. 2024 will be remembered for a long while in TFI because of the rise of new age directors like Nag Ashwin, Prashant Varma and Vivek Atreya but old ones like Vaitla, Puri,Parasuram and Harish Sankar completely lost it.
