\r\nProducer on Tollywood Stars doing 100 films. Producer D.Suresh Babu speaking to scribes shared his thoughts on whether Tollywood stars will be able to do 100 films in their career.\r\nChiranjeevi is doing 171th film with Srikanth Odela, Balakrishna is doing 111th film with Gopichand Malineni and Nagarjuna announced his 100th with Ra. Karthik. Venkatesh is currently 77 films.\r\nSuresh Babu shares . &ldquo;I am not sure whether Venkatesh will reach that 100-film landmark since he needs to do another 23 movies, and it looks difficult.&rdquo;\r\nTalking about NTR,ANR and Krishna\'s era, he said &ldquo;They used to do 8 to 10 films a year, so NTR crossed 254 films, while Krishna could cross the 300-film mark by doing 15 films a year. Their energies and thinking patterns were different,&rdquo; he recalls. &ldquo;I remember once Bollywood actor Jeetendra telling me that an actor should not waste a single day and should work for 365 days. That kind of passion and thinking belonged to another era.&rdquo;\r\n&nbsp;\r\nHe added &ldquo;Chiranjeevi used to do four films a year, while Nagarjuna would do two or three, and Balakrishna too maintained a similar pace. But things have changed now. Big stars are looking for quality over quantity as years go by.&rdquo;\r\nPrabhas, Allu Arjun, NTR, Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan are under 30 films and talking about it, he said &ldquo;Earlier, some stars worked to run their households, while others were passionate about being in front of the arc lights most days of the year. The second generation grew up in a more comfortable financial space and began slowing down, choosing only films that would truly excite fans.&rdquo;\r\nHe said &ldquo;Every actor has the right to his work-life balance and to work without unnecessary pressure, unlike the earlier generation, and added &ldquo;Sometimes VFX work delays releases, and multi-language casting also extends timelines. Shooting more in studios won&rsquo;t reduce film counts either, because most big films are already back to studio setups. But stars are doing only one or two films in two years, and that trend is unlikely to change.&rdquo;\r\nHe pointed out &ldquo;Patience has become key to grabbing audience attention.&rdquo;\r\n
