Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines
In cinema, both the hero and the heroine are crucial, like the two eyes of a face. Nowadays, heroines seem to have less scope for substantive roles compared to the past, with some directors focusing films predominantly around the hero. Often, heroines appear primarily for songs and to add a visual appeal. Recent movies like 'Liger,' 'Mr. Bachchan,' and 'Double iSmart' have drawn criticism for focusing more on heroines' exposure than their acting skills. However, some young directors in Tollywood are attracting praise for portraying heroines with dignity, following the example set by Sekhar Kammula. Who are these directors? What films have they made? How have they portrayed their heroines? Let’s find out.
Sekhar Kammula
When you think of a sensible director in Tollywood, Sekhar Kammula is one of the first names that come to mind. He is known for creating beautiful love stories and engaging family dramas. The heroines in his films and the way they are portrayed remain memorable to the audience. Kamalinee Mukherjee in 'Anand' and 'Godavari' is a prime example, portrayed as the girl-next-door in a dignified manner. In 'Leader,' Richa Gangopadhyay, and in 'Life is Beautiful,' Shagun Kaur, left lasting impressions. Particularly in films like 'Fidaa' and 'Love Story,' Sai Pallavi's roles won hearts without relying on exposure, affirming Sekhar’s significant contribution to her becoming a star heroine. His understanding of how to extract authentic performances from actresses makes many heroines keen to work with him at least once.
Hanu Raghavapudi
Similar to Sekhar Kammula, director Hanu Raghavapudi takes great care in the portrayal of heroines. His films 'Andala Rakshasi,' 'Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha,' 'Padi Padi Leche Manasu,' and 'Sita Ramam' make it clear that he focuses on the substance of his heroines' roles. Actresses like Lavanya Tripathi, Mehreen, Sai Pallavi, and Mrunal Thakur under his direction have garnered significant acclaim. Mrunal Thakur, in particular, received rave reviews for her role in the beautiful love saga 'Sita Ramam,' achieving star status in Telugu cinema. Her character Sita in the film remains special to her, as stated in various interviews. Hanu has announced a project with Prabhas, introducing a new actress, Iman Ismail, to the Telugu screen, whose appearance has already generated considerable interest.
Vivek Athreya
Young director Vivek Athreya also seems to follow in Sekhar Kammula's footsteps regarding heroine portrayal. His recent film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' with Nani, featuring Tamil actress Priyanka Arul Mohan, showcased her acting without resorting to glamour. His previous works, 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' emphasized dignified portrayals over skin show, with actresses like Nivetha Pethuraj, Nivetha Thomas, and Nazriya Nazim earning recognition for their roles.
Shouryuv
Director Shouryuv made his mark with the film 'Hi Nanna,' capturing hearts and earning praise for his sensitive portrayal. In the film, Nani stars alongside Mrunal Thakur, who was previously known in Bollywood for more glamorous roles. Shouryuv presented her as a quintessential Telugu girl without compromising her dignity throughout the film. Despite opportunities for skin show in songs, he chose not to take that route, maintaining the integrity of Mrunal's character. This approach left film critics impressed and hopeful that he will continue in this manner in his future projects.
Tharun Bhascker
Tharun Bhascker, a young director, has quickly become synonymous with youthful films. He has gained recognition in a short time with content that resonates with the youth, without ever giving in to the temptation to showcase glamour unnecessarily. Starting with his debut film 'Pelli Choopulu,' this aspect becomes clear. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma's pairing in the film highlighted substantial acting over cheap thrills. This film significantly boosted Ritu Varma's popularity. After turning actor in several films, Tharun Bhascker has returned to directing with 'Keeḍa Cola,' continuing his tradition of dignified cinematic portrayals.

Exciting Update on Bunny-Trivikram Combo, Blockbuster Loading!
In Tollywood, certain hero-director combinations command a distinct fan base, often driving audiences wild with excitement. Notable duos like Prabhas-Rajamouli, Trivikram-Pawan Kalyan, Tarak-Koratala Siva, Allu Arjun-Sukumar, and Harish Shankar-Ravi Teja have become fan favorites, known to spark frenzy among moviegoers. Among these, the Allu Arjun and Trivikram pairing stands out as particularly thrilling, often regarded as the top in Tollywood. Whenever these two collaborate, fans are confident the film will be a resounding success. Their previous three films together have all been blockbusters. Recently, there have been intriguing updates suggesting that a fourth film from this successful combo is in the works.
Muhurtham Fixed!
Audiences are eagerly waiting for the next Allu Arjun and Trivikram movie. According to the latest buzz, the Muhurtham for this film to go on sets has been fixed. The film is slated to commence in September, starting with ritualistic ceremonies followed by regular shooting. With the ongoing pan-India craze, this film is also expected to release in multiple languages. Sources close to the director suggest that Trivikram will be venturing into the pan-India market with this film for the first time.
Who Among the Two!
The selection of the heroine for the Bunny-Trivikram film is also nearly finalized. The film team is considering either Bollywood actresses Janhvi Kapoor or Alia Bhatt to star opposite Bunny. With Janhvi gearing up for her Tollywood debut with 'Devara', she has already garnered some buzz in Telugu cinema, making her a likely favorite for Trivikram. However, considering Alia’s greater popularity in Bollywood, she is also under consideration, as her inclusion could enhance the film’s pan-India appeal. An official announcement regarding the heroine’s selection is expected soon.
Hat-trick Hits
It is well known that the previous three films under the Allu Arjun-Trivikram collaboration, 'Julayi', 'Son of Satyamurthy', and 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo', have created a sensation in Tollywood and generated a tsunami of collections at the box office. These films have made Allu Arjun even more beloved among family audiences. These three were hilarious entertainers and remain memorable for average cinephiles. Fans are hoping that their upcoming fourth film will live up to the same standards and break past records.
Busy with 'Pushpa 2'
Icon star Allu Arjun is currently busy working on 'Pushpa 2' with director Sukumar, set for a global release on December 6. This film is a sequel to the blockbuster 'Pushpa'.
