Tollywood directors scaring Bollywood beauties
Tollywood directors scaring Bollywood beauties. Ever since the rise of Tollywood at the international level with Rajamouli's Baahubali, RRR and Allu Arjun's Pushpa, many Bollywood stars and actresses showed their interest in starring in Telugu films.
Alia Bhatt played a key role in RRR and Deepika Padukone played an important role in Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD. But with the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor's role in Ram Charan's Peddi, Rasha Thadani in Akhil's Lenin, they are having second thoughts. Deepika Padukone walked out of Kalki 2898AD.
Many say, they are now scared of Tollywood filmmakers. A director says “Telugu directors are not writing strong or logical roles for heroines, which is why some Bollywood actresses are now maintaining their distance,”
The director concludes 'Things will turn around if Priyanka Chopra shines bright in 'Varanasi' with a meaty role since it is a commercial and hero-centric adventure. If Priyanka steals the show, then her Bollywood colleagues could turn up,"
