&nbsp;&nbsp;Pressure on writers to change accordingly. &nbsp;Of late, the production style of commercial films in Tollywood is changing completely. Earlier star hero films used to have action elements, songs, and comedy to become a success at the box office.Of late, the thinking of the people changed, and they are observing not only the hero but whether other characters are getting equal importance and whether it played crucial role in the story and how strong is the writing. So there is a strong opinion that writers should change according to the people's perception.In earlier commercial films, hero friend, heroine, villain team members, family turned out to be inconsequential as per the story and people never used to pay attention. Now people are examining how much importance they got in driving the story forward. Intense discussions are on social media about the unnecessary characters and scenes in the films and people are appreciating only films that have strong roles to all actors and strong story.Even if a character is small, if it plays key role in the twist, people are loving them. Now a days even small characters is winning the appreciation of the people. With the webseries and OTTs, people's mindset changed completely. They are looking for backstory for each role, a target and emotion. If the roles are connecting, they are turning out tobe plus point or the negative impact is turning out to be huge. So writers need to be extra vigilant while creating characters and writing stories.- Pramod Nandivada
