No doubt, there is a huge dearth for heroines in Telugu film industry and any newcomer in the industry would be bounced off with scripts, offers. This is why import of talent from neighbouring states is rampant in Tollywood.
The other day Kalyani Priyadarshan, daughter of Priyadarshan and Lissy, made her acting debut in Telugu with Hello. Apart from good acting performance, her looks got thumbs down from critics. Many opine that she is not so beautiful and may not be a ‘heroine material’ for glam roles.
While Akhil’s maiden heroine Sayyeshaa Saigal got registered with her looks and talent, Kalyani seems to be lagging behind. By the time Akhil got released, Sayyeshaa is heaped with offers in Telugu and other languages. However, she moved to Bollywood, Kollywood subsequently and juggling with films across multiple languages.
Whereas Kalyani is yet to receive big offers here in Telugu and elsewhere. Let’s wait and see, what is in store for her.
