Cop stories are not new to Tollywood. Ranging from chota mota stars to super stars, many heroes and directors churned BO blockbusters using these cop stories. Off late with change of audience psyche and predictable story lines of directors have created a situation where Tolly onscreen cop’s misfired their bullet action.

Except Gopichand’s action stunts none of the present genre of hero’s really proved their mettle in Cop stories. Movies like Salute, Astram, Baanam, Homam, Satyameva Jayathe, Eenadu and Siddham sank without a trace, making dream merchants discard the time tested theme, once considered a safe bet at Box Office.

After the weak run of ‘Golimaar’ in this season; Pawan Kalyan is again coming with a tough cop story in the form of ‘Komaram Puli’ which is all set to release this month. With too many expectations on the movie, onus is on Pawan Kalyan to prove that cop story is still a safe bet. On the other side, Mahesh Babu’s next big ticket untitled film with director Srinu Vytla is reportedly a cop story, entire plot still to be developed. Though Mahesh delivered one of the biggest industry hit ‘Pokiri’ with cop story but unfortunately Puri’s scripting focussed more on goons rather than police.

If stars like Pawan and Mahesh can’t convince and woo their Fans as cops, we can’t expect more cop stories  from our heroes in near future. So, it is Mahesh and Pawan sharing the COP burden.
