Previously, every region used to have a separate market but the entire nation became a single market even since the pan-Indian trend began and OTT opened the doors of every language cinema to the audience. This is why we are seeing a lot of crazy combinations these days. Especially, a lot of Telugu heroes are working with Tamil directors and Tamil heroes are joining forces with Telugu directors.
A lot of Tamil heroes are showing interest in working with Telugu filmmakers. What’s more interesting is the fact that the stories which were rejected by Telugu star heroes are being accepted by Tamil heroes and they are turning out to be super hits. Tamil stars are gaining maximum collections with these projects.
As we all know, the story of ‘Varisu’ was first narrated to superstar Mahesh Babu and Vamsi Paidipally narrated it to Ram Charan as well. But both the stars rejected it which made the ‘Maharshi’ director turn towards Tamil star hero Vijay. He took the script happily and the movie ended up being a blockbuster in Tamil Nadu. Though the Telugu people trolled the film, it was a profitable venture.
In the same manner, Venky Atluri joined hands with Dhanush and delivered a super hit in both Tamil and Telugu. ‘Sir’ which came out in February was a success both on the critical and commercial front. As we know, Dhanush announced a movie with Sekhar Kammula too.
In the meanwhile, sources claim that Hanu Raghavapudi who scored a hit like ‘Sita Ramam’ was expected to work with either Nani or Ram Charan. Sources say that they did not give the green signal to the script of Hanu but versatile actor Suriya immediately gave his nod. Mythri Movie Makers who are on a roll these days are reportedly going to produce this film and it looks like Suriya is going to make a full-fledged Telugu debut with this flick. Let us wait and see what happens.
