Any film industry's existence will depend on the image of the heroes. However not all heroes will have same kind of market outreach. So analysts categorize heroes into three leagues. Fist league comprises of top stars like Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Ram Charan, NTR and Allu Arjun.
Their projects sell like hot cakes banking on their name and brand image. They have minimum guarantee with regard to openings irrespective of the film result.
The second league has heroes who need not to worry about the openings. The third league will have upcoming heroes whose future face question mark if they face two to three flops.
Of late speculation is on as to who will be the super star in the second rung heroes. Online poll came with the following results.
Natural Star Nani is leading the race with the highest number of votes while Vijay Devarakonda is a distant second despite the sensations like Arjun Reddy and Pelli Choopulu. Next in the line are Varun Tej, Sharwanand, Ram, Sai Dharam Tej and Nihtin.
Nani for long has the image of minimum guarantee hero as he showed his power in films like Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, MCA and Jersey. If he gets another hit, he will easily reach the 50 crs club.
