Coronavirus and the subsequent lockdown hit all the industries extremely hard. However, it seems Tollywood stars are not at all scared. Before the spread of coronavirus, almost all stars and filmmakers lined up pan India films. Many thought that after coronavirus, they will change their thought process and shun away pan India projects and turn local. But Tollywood stars are in no mood to back down.
Though after Baahubali, many filmmakers tried to break those records, all of them failed in their attempts. However, they are not backing off. Chiranjeevi came up with Sye Ra Narasimha Reddy, Prabhas came up with Saaho.
Now Allu Arjun with Puspa, Vijay Deverakonda with Fighter, Manchu Manoj with Aham Brahmasmi is eying pan India market. Pawan Kalyan's Viroopaksha is also a pan India project. Puri Jagannadh's next is also a pan India project and the same is the case with Manchu Vishnu's Mosgallu. Prabhas' all films and Rajamouli's films always be pan India entertainers after Baahubali.
Though Corona affected overseas markets drastically, stars are not bothered about that, and producers are announcing pan India projects. Karanam Malliswari biopic, Rana's Hiranyakasipa, Nikhil's Karthikeya 2, and Adivi Sesh's Major are having pan India plots.
Irrespective of the market of the stars, the makers are ready to pump money into the projects for pan India films. It has to be seen how pan India films from Tollywood stars appeal to movie lovers across the country.
