The classic example of a typical Telugu hero mindset is that they don’t’ take up roles that won’t have heroism, that will have them to underplay or wear a lady getup. That’s the reason we don’t get fantastic content on the silver screen as it happens in Bollywood.
In recent times, Bollywood hero Ayushman Khurrana is picking fantastic subjects and even scoring 100+ crores at the box office. In the film ‘Dream Girl’, he appears as a guy who speaks in a girl’s voice and also plays the role of a lady in many theatre plays. Raj Tarun was supposed to do this movie for Suresh Productions, but the hero walked after his Iddari Lokam Okate failed at the box office.
Producer Suresh Babu, who has actually wanted to bring new content to Telugu cinema through his banner, is now said to be running from pillar to post to find a hero for this project. From heroes who are in his family to those heroes who got sensational applause, are said to have rejected to take up this film.
One wonders why Tollywood heroes still doesn’t want to take up such roles and stories!
