      In Tollywood, young heroes such as Nani and Daggubati Rana are highly popular among both youth and family audiences, thanks to their distinctive acting styles across various genres. Off-screen, Nani and Rana are known to be good friends. But what if these beloved actors were to become adversaries on screen? The idea of them challenging each other in a film is quite thrilling. This concept is no longer just imagination; it's set to become a reality. There is a strong buzz that they will star as hero and villain in an upcoming crime thriller. Let's explore what makes this so special. In the Hit 3 movie... The "Hit" series in Tollywood, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, including "Hit: The First Case" and "Hit 2: The Second Case," has been very successful. These films have significantly boosted the careers of actors Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh. Following this series, the ending of the second part has already set Nani up as the hero for the upcoming part 3. Movie lovers have been eagerly awaiting the start of "Hit 3." After a long wait, there's an exciting update about "Hit 3." There's strong speculation that Rana Daggubati will appear as Nani’s antagonist. This news has currently become the talk of Tollywood. Rana as a Psycho Killer? Looking at the first two movies of the "Hit" series, both revolve around serial killings, a psycho killer, and a police investigation backdrop. "Hit 3" is also expected to follow a similar theme. In it, Nani is set to appear as a powerful police officer. Rana’s role is rumored to be just as formidable. Rana has reportedly responded positively to his character description. There’s buzz online that Rana will appear as a brutal psycho killer in "Hit 3," and his role is said to be quite terrifying. An official announcement regarding this is expected to be made soon.

      Priyanka Mohan's Journey from Engineer to South Cinema Star: Celebrating Her Rise on Her Birthday!
      Priyanka Mohan's Journey from Engineer to South Cinema Star: Celebrating Her Rise on Her Birthday!
      Priyanka Arul Mohan is among the leading actresses from South India. Having faced many challenges at the start of her career, she is now continuing as a star heroine. She has earned a unique recognition for herself by acting alongside star heroes like Suriya, Dhanush, Nani, Sivakarthikeyan, and Jayam Ravi. Currently, she is catching everyone's eye by acting in 'OG' alongside Pawan. Today is Priyanka Mohan's birthday (HBD Priyanka Mohan), marking her entry into the 29th year. Let’s take this opportunity to learn some interesting aspects of her career. Priyanka Mohan was born on November 20, 1995, in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, where she also completed her education, earning a degree in Biological Engineering. Priyanka's mother is Kannadiga while her father is of Tamil descent, which made her proficient in both Kannada and Tamil. During her engineering studies, Priyanka participated in several plays and acted in two or three commercials. Priyanka revealed in an interview that her friends pooled money to make a movie with her during that time. She clarified that her first Kannada film was 'Ondu Kathe Hella,' but she didn’t tell her family she was making the film. After its release, her family was shocked to see Priyanka in the film but didn't say a word and instead encouraged her. Despite her interest in acting, Priyanka never thought about entering films; she dreamed of securing a good job. If she hadn’t entered the industry, Priyanka mentioned she would have been working in a reputable corporate firm by now. Priyanka made her Telugu debut with 'Gang Leaders.' On her first day of shooting, seeing veteran actors like Lakshmi and Saranya made her very nervous. She questioned her worthiness of acting with such accomplished actors and directly asked the director Vikram if he had made a hasty decision in casting her. From a young age, Priyanka admired Suriya. She was thrilled to get a chance to act with him in 'ET.' After shooting, when Suriya sent her a gift, she excitedly posted it on Instagram. Priyanka is known for her gentle nature, speaks very little wherever she goes, and has very few friends. She admires actresses like Nithya Menen, Anushka, and Nazriya, and loves their acting, as she has mentioned on multiple occasions. Unlike other actresses who might take off on vacations if there’s a shooting gap, Priyanka prefers to rest at home or engage in her favorite activities during her free time, occasionally going on trips. Getting up early in the morning is quite challenging for Priyanka, and she admitted in an interview that she used to be very lazy about exercising in the early days of her career. Priyanka is an excellent cook, especially of chicken dishes, which she claims to prepare very deliciously. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priyanka Mohan (@priyankaamohanofficial) She emphasized that her day must start with a cup of coffee; without it, her day doesn't start at all. Priyanka tries to be the same off-screen as she appears in films, preferring traditional roles over glamorous ones. In Telugu, she has acted in 'Gang Leader,' 'Sreekaram,' and recently in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' and is currently acting with Pawan in 'OG.' In Tamil, she has worked with Sivakarthikeyan in 'Doctor' and 'Don,' and with Dhanush in 'Captain Miller,' all of which were also dubbed into Telugu.

      Anirudh's Tollywood Takeover: A New Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?
      Anirudh's Tollywood Takeover: A New Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?
      Anirudh Ravichander is currently creating waves in the South Indian music scene. Originating from Kollywood, this music sensation has gained immense popularity through movies like 'Raghuvaram B.Tech', 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Beast'. His presence guarantees significant hype for the movies. Particularly among the youth, Anirudh's songs and background scores resonate well. Recently, he also delivered a stunning soundtrack for the film 'Devara' starring Tarak, reinforcing the trust placed in him. Although Anirudh has primarily focused on Kollywood until now, it seems he is shifting his focus to Tollywood, sparking discussions about the challenges this poses to local music directors. A Craze in Telugu Cinema! The young music sensation Anirudh has a strong following in Telugu cinema as well. He has directly worked on Telugu films like 'Agnyaathavaasi', 'Jersey', 'Gang Leader', and 'UTurn'. While his music in these films was a hit, there wasn't much discussion about Anirudh in Tollywood. However, with recent films like 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Jawan', his reputation has soared to a Pan-India level. The youth are particularly enamored with his background music. These films being dubbed in Telugu also meant that Anirudh’s music was thoroughly enjoyed by the Telugu audience, who listened to his songs on repeat. Due to the demand from NTR's fans, Anirudh was also brought into the 'Devara' project, as recently disclosed by the makers. A Series of Offers in Tollywood! Following the success of 'Devara', Anirudh's name is being increasingly heard in Tollywood. Telugu audiences are eager to experience his music in theaters once again. Noticing this interest, Telugu filmmakers are showing a keen desire to work with Anirudh. Observing the reception in Telugu cinema, Anirudh has decided to amp up his involvement in Tollywood projects. Reportedly, he has given the green light to 'VD12', a project in collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda and Gowtam Tinnanuri, and has also agreed to score music for an upcoming film by Nani and Srikanth Odela. Other directors are also reaching out to Anirudh for their movies, with talks suggesting he might take on up to half a dozen Telugu projects in the coming days. A Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri? Music directors Thaman and Devi Sri Prasad have been the top choices in Tollywood for the past few years, typically scoring music for five to eight out of every ten releases. They have been the first two preferences for Telugu directors. However, analysts believe that with Anirudh’s entry, both face stiff competition. Until recently, Anirudh had not prioritized Tollywood, but now that he is focusing on Telugu films, it poses a significant challenge to them. It remains to be seen how Thaman and Devi Sri will fare against the wave of Anirudh's mania. If These Click, Stopping Them is Tough! Thaman is currently composing for a film Game Changer directed by Shankar starring Ram Charan. The songs 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' and 'Ra Macha Macha' have already been released to a positive response. Similarly, Thaman is also scoring for Pawan Kalyan's 'OG', and the song 'Hungry Cheetah' has thrilled Pawan's fans. Meanwhile, Thaman has been chosen as the music director for 'Akhanda 2', a sequel directed by Boyapati featuring Balakrishna. On the other hand, Devi Sri Prasad is handling the music for 'Pushpa 2'. The title song and 'Suseki Aggiravva Madiri' from 'Pushpa' have already amassed millions of views on YouTube. If these projects succeed, it could be tough for anyone to challenge Thaman and Devi Sri’s dominance in the industry.

      Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Sparks Fan Concerns Ahead of Release
      Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Sparks Fan Concerns Ahead of Release
      Whenever one thinks of a self-made hero from this generation, Nani is the first name that comes to mind. Coming into the industry without any background, Nani has carved out a unique fan base for himself. Meanwhile, Nani's latest movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' is set to release this Thursday at a pan-India level. The trailer has already been received with great enthusiasm, boosting the confidence of Nani's fans about the film's success. However, new fears have recently emerged among Nani's fans, leading to their anxiety. What is bothering them? What could be the reasons? Let's find out in this story. Runtime Worries! The natural star Nani stars in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya and produced by DVV Danayya. Priyanka Mohan is cast opposite Nani in this film. The movie has just completed its censor formalities and received a U/A certificate, with a fixed runtime of 2 hours and 46 minutes. This has led to concerns among Nani's fans. Their previous movie under the Nani-Vivek Athreya combination, 'Ante Sundaraniki,' had a runtime of 3 hours and ended up disappointing the fans. Now, with 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also approaching with a lengthy runtime, fans fear a repeat of the previous experience. They believe that even if the story is good, a lengthy runtime could lead to viewer fatigue. Villain Takes the Upper Hand! In 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Tamil actor S.J. Suryah acts as Nani's antagonist, portraying a ruthless police officer. It seems that S.J. Suryah's role might overshadow Nani's, as the hero's role is expected to be quite subdued for the most part. Rumors suggest that the hero will have a significant impact only on Saturdays, with a more relaxed demeanor on other days. Film analysts predict that S.J. Suryah's role will leave a strong impression on the movie. Observing the recent trailer, while Nani's performance was commendable, S.J. Suryah, as the villain, had a more impactful presence. His acting prowess was striking, causing Nani's fans to express their concerns. They fear the situation if S.J. Suryah's performance eclipses their hero's. Revealing the Plot Too Soon! Actor S.J. Suryah is bringing new challenges to the 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' team. During promotional interviews, he has been openly discussing the plot, shocking everyone. He revealed why the hero only becomes active on Saturdays in one interview. At a recent promotional event, he even discussed the film's runtime before the censor was complete. This premature revelation of the movie's key points has led to fan unrest. Fans argue on social media about the loss of intrigue if everything is revealed beforehand. They are using S.J. Suryah's dialogue from the movie 'Maanaadu' – "He comes, he shoots, he repeats" – to ironically describe his current promotional tactics. You'll See the Dance of Shiva in Theaters At the recent pre-release event of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Hero Nani made intriguing comments. "You will see Vivek's dance of Shiva in theaters on August 29. Everyone has worked hard for this film. It's a milestone. When I was feeling tense about the film, just listening to Jakes Bejoy's music took all that tension away. Bring extra bags of paper; Jakes has put in a lot of effort. Producer Danayya is a very positive person. He hopes for the best for the film. That's why good stories are always searching for him," said Nani, highlighting the collective effort and the anticipation surrounding the movie.

      Yellamma: Young Hero Confirmed for Balagam Venu’s Project, Nani and Teja Sajja Replaced!
      Venu Yeldandi, who entered the industry as a comedian, built his career by playing small roles initially. He then gained popularity as a team leader in the 'Jabardasth' comedy show. Shifting gears to directing, Venu's last year's film 'Balagam' was a blockbuster success, set against a rural Telangana background and received critical acclaim. Naturally, all eyes were on Venu's next project. However, a year after 'Balagam', the absence of a new project announcement from Venu sparked mixed reactions among fans. Amidst this, there’s a strong buzz that Venu has locked a project with a young hero. Venu Directing Nithiin! Venu Yeldandi had previously announced that his second film would be under the banner of producer Dil Raju, who also produced 'Balagam'. The story for this second movie has been ready for a while, and Venu is expected to start production soon. It is rumored that he will be directing young hero Nithiin in his next film. Nithiin has reportedly agreed to the project after some changes were made to the story. If all goes well, the film is expected to start soon. The film, known as 'Yellamma', has also been registered as a title, generating buzz in Tollywood. Nani, Teja Sajja Rejected! Initially, there was significant buzz that Venu Yeldandi's next project would feature Natural Star Nani. Venu had pitched the 'Yellamma' story to Nani, but he was reportedly not satisfied with the second half of the script. Venu stood by the story, leading to Nani's withdrawal from the project. Subsequently, the story was pitched to Teja Sajja, who initially agreed, but this combination did not materialize due to unavoidable reasons. Finally, Venu presented the story to Nithiin, who gave his approval. When Does Shooting Start? Venu Yeldandi’s 'Yellamma' is set to start shooting in February next year. The announcement was made by producer Dil Raju during the pre-release event of 'Janaka Ayithe Ganaka'. Venu was also present at the event.

I'm ready to start tomorrow if you say so." To which Dil Raju clarified, "Let’s start in February." https://twitter.com/i/status/1844354638587498984 Awards Galore for 'Balagam' The film 'Balagam', starring comedian Priyadarshi and Kavya Kalyanram, released on March 3 last year, without much initial hype but greatly attracted family audiences, especially from rural areas of Telangana.

      Nani's latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections) released on Thursday (August 29) has garnered positive buzz. Along with Nani, the villain played by S.J. Suryah has received accolades from the audience. Consequently, the film is creating a storm at the box office. Despite continuous heavy rains across Telugu states over the past three days, Nani's film's momentum has not slowed down. Furthermore, daily theater occupancy has been increasing. In this context, how much did Nani's film collect over the weekend? Let's look at the collections for the first four days. Weekend Collections: How much? The film "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," starring Nani as the hero and Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead, is exceeding everyone's expectations and is showering the box office with collections. The makers have officially announced that the film has grossed ₹68.72 crores worldwide in the first four days. They also released a special poster to mark this achievement. According to trade sources, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" has collected ₹33.50 crores in India and ₹18 crores overseas. The film has reportedly earned ₹29.65 crores in the two Telugu states. Additionally, it has collected ₹4.65 crores in Karnataka, ₹3.23 crores in Tamil Nadu, ₹27 lakhs in Kerala, and ₹1.45 crores in the rest of India. Heading towards the ₹100 crore mark... Given the performance of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' at the box office, it appears easily poised to reach the ₹100 crore mark. It has already collected nearly ₹60 crores in just four days. Trade circles believe that if not for the cyclonic conditions in Telugu states, the collections could have been even higher. If the rain impact diminishes, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has a chance to significantly increase its collections, potentially crossing ₹100 crores effortlessly. Nani's film 'Dasara' was the only one to surpass ₹100 crores in his career so far. Fans are eagerly anticipating this to be his second film to cross that mark. Coming to OTT in a month..!

Suryah's performances, the action sequences, and the background music by Jakes Bejoy are major highlights. Notably, the Tom and Jerry-style scenes between the hero and the villain have delighted the audience. However, the film's length, lack of twists, missing commercial elements, and a predictable storyline are seen as drawbacks.

Meanwhile, Natural Star Nani is also popularly seen as a 'lover boy' and is currently riding high after the success of his recent movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'. Amidst this backdrop, there is widespread buzz about an upcoming film under the direction of Sekhar Kammula starring Nani. It's being talked about that Sai Pallavi might join as the heroine for this movie. Super Combo Loading An exciting new combination is set to take shape in Tollywood with Nani and Sekhar Kammula teaming up for a new film, according to social media buzz. Tollywood circles are also abuzz with the prospects of this pairing. The script for this movie is reportedly ready, and Nani is expected to hear the final narration soon. The film is said to be a fresh love entertainer, and Sekhar Kammula is considering casting Sai Pallavi as the heroine, which is expected to be a great addition. If all goes as planned, an official announcement regarding this movie may be expected soon. A Departure from Usual Style Sekhar Kammula typically does not think about other projects while working on one, focusing entirely on the current film. However, he seems to have departed from this approach as he is already preparing stories for future projects while wrapping up current ones. This strategy might reduce the gap between his film releases. It is also noted that while working on these projects, Sekhar Kammula is already preparing the story for Nani's film. Currently, he is busy shooting 'Kubera', a pan-India film starring Tamil actor Dhanush and Telugu cinema stalwart Nagarjuna. A First Time for This Combo Till now, there hasn't been a film that brought Nani and Sekhar Kammula together. Sekhar has expressed his desire to work with Nani on multiple occasions. However, he has worked with Sai Pallavi in two films previously. She was introduced to the industry as a heroine with his film 'Fidaa', and she was also the leading lady in the film 'Love Story' starring Naga Chaitanya. Both these films were blockbuster successes and brought significant recognition to Sai Pallavi as an actress. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi and Nani have already worked together in two films, 'MCA' (Middle Class Abbayi) and 'Shyam Singha Roy', both of which received positive responses. Fans are eagerly anticipating a hat-trick success from their combo. Will it Take a While? After the film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram', Nani is currently gearing up for 'Hit 3' under the direction of Sailesh Kolanu. A glimpse of this film was recently released and captured attention. Additionally, Nani is planning another film with director Sujeeth and another with the director of 'Dasara'. Given these commitments, it might take another two years for this rare combo to be set, and Sekhar Kammula is also busy with the filming of 'Kubera'.

      Nani Shines in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Amidst Mixed Reactions.
      Cast: Nani, Priyanka Arul Mohan, S.J. Suryah, Saikumar, Shubhalekha Sudhakar, Abhirami, Aditi Balan, Murali Sharma, Ajay, among others Director: Vivek Athreya Music: Jakes Bejoy Editor: Karthika Srinivas Producers: DVV Danayya, Kalyan Dasari Release Date: 29-08-2024 Natural Star Nani stars in the latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' directed by Vivek Athreya. Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the heroine, and prominent Tamil actor S.J. Suryah portrays the antagonist. Director Vivek Athreya, known for engaging audiences with class films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' has now ventured into the mass genre. Deviating from his usual style, he presents a powerful action drama in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.' The recently released trailer has significantly heightened expectations. The film had a grand worldwide release on August 29. How did it fare? Did Nani's performance impress? Let's find out in this review. What's the Story? Surya (Nani) works as an LIC agent. He cannot tolerate injustice happening before his eyes and chooses Saturdays to showcase his rage. Meanwhile, the residents of Sokulapalem suffer from various hardships. Police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah) oppresses them, using his authority to perpetrate acts of brutality. Amidst dramatic developments, the hero decides to stand up for the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the cruel police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? Why does the hero specifically choose Saturday to unleash his fury? What's the love track with heroine Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the face-off between hero and villain? That forms the story. How Did They Perform? Hero Nani excelled in the role of Surya. He showcased his versatility in the action sequences. Nani's acting in this film is distinct from his previous movies. He also made his mark in emotional scenes. S.J. Suryah as the antagonist was compelling, dominating some scenes over Nani. Both their performances are definitely the highlights of the film. Priyanka Arul Mohan played a settled role as a lady constable, impressing in a character-driven role. The unique love track between Nani and Priyanka will appeal to the audience. Saikumar, Ajay, Murali Sharma, and other actors justified their roles well. How's the Direction? Director Vivek Athreya, recognized for his classical approach in previous films, introduces his mass flair in this movie. Despite using a routine story, his unique making style has won applause. The director devoted much of the first half to introducing characters. Nani's childhood, the concept of Saturday, the introduction to the heroine, and an engaging interval block kept the first half interesting. The second half was filled with Tom and Jerry-like scenes and action sequences between Nani and S.J. Suryah. However, the lengthy duration negatively impacted the film. Some scenes felt too stretched, and the predictability of the storyline also turned out to be a drawback. Technically Speaking On the technical front, Jakes Bejoy's music was captivating, with appealing songs and a background score that added strength to the film, especially enhancing the action sequences. The cinematography also stood out. The editor could have been a bit sharper with the cuts. Production values were high. Plus Points - Nani and S.J. Suryah's performances - Action sequences - Introduction, interval, and climax episodes Minus Points - Lengthy duration - Lack of twists Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5 Public Talk on 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Netizens who watched 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' are expressing their opinions on platform X.

Based on some social media posts, let's analyze the public opinion.

      Natural Star Nani: Indirect Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team?
      Natural Star Nani: Indirect Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team?
      Prominent directors and producers in Tollywood are adopting a new trend by announcing release dates even before the completion of movie shootings. Due to delays and other issues during production, they often have to quickly announce new dates if they fail to release on the initially promised date. This practice of locking dates in advance for big-budget movies is reportedly causing issues for smaller films and tier-2 heroes. Natural Star Nani has responded strongly to this issue, which has become a hot topic in the industry. 'That attitude is not correct' It is natural for films to be postponed. Reasons such as adjustments of actor dates, VFX delays, and other shooting delays often lead to postponements. However, the frequency of delays has increased recently. Nani has made fiery comments about the practice of announcing release dates without certainty and then postponing them. During promotions for "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," he addressed this issue, stating, "Announcing a release date without clarity harms many. We should set a date only if the movie is ready; otherwise, we should wait. This attitude of announcing a date and then changing it isn’t right." These comments have sparked significant discussion within Tollywood, with both industry insiders and netizens supporting Nani’s views. Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team? Nani did not specifically mention any film in his latest comments, but industry circles are discussing that he was referring to the 'Pushpa 2' team. Reportedly, Nani's "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" was initially targeted for an August 15 release at the beginning of its production. However, since Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' had already locked that date, the "Saripodhaa" team had to reschedule for late August (August 29). Unexpectedly, the 'Pushpa 2' team moved their release to December 6, releasing a special poster to announce it. This shift allowed other films like "Double iSmart," "Mr. Bachchan," "Thangalaan," and "Aay" to move their schedules to August 15. Considering this, Nani had to bring his film on August 29. The timing of 'Pushpa 2' locking August 15 initially led to the loss of a long weekend for "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," prompting speculation that Nani's comments were an indirect warning to them. Run Time Fixed for Nani’s Movie! Nani's latest film "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," directed by Vivek Athreya, is set to release on Thursday, August 29. Priyanka Arul Mohan stars as the heroine. The film has recently completed its censor formalities and has reportedly received a U/A certification. S.J. Suryah, who plays the villain, revealed that the runtime has been fixed at 2 hours and 50 minutes. This follows the earlier Nani-Vivek Athreya collaboration "Ante Sundaraniki," which also had a runtime of around three hours.

Moved by her plight, her sister went directly to the producer of 'Shyam Singha Roy', Venkat Boyanapalli, and pleaded for a day off, saying, "My sister is crying, please give her at least one day off."

      Nani and Vijay Deverakonda: Battling Nepotism in Tollywood's Tier 2
      Nani and Vijay Deverakonda: Battling Nepotism in Tollywood's Tier 2
      Nepotism has always been a hot topic in the film industry. Following the tragic demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the debate around nepotism intensified. There's a widespread belief that nepotism bars opportunities for outsiders as industry heirs dominate the space. Nepotism has become commonplace, and Tollywood is no exception. It's often said that, after Bollywood, our industry has a high number of heroes from film families, leaving actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Adivi Sesh, Sharwanand, and Gopichand categorized as 'Tier 2' heroes. But how much truth is there to this? Are they truly unable to succeed because of nepotism? Let's find out in this special report. What Exactly is 'Tier 2'? Generally, in every industry, actors are classified into two or three tiers based on their popularity. In Tollywood, names like Prabhas, Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna are considered 'Tier 1' heroes. They create a festive atmosphere in theaters upon the release of their films, recovering about 30% to 50% of the budget on the first day itself due to their massive fan following. Tier 2 heroes, as previously mentioned, including Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Ram Pothineni, Naga Chaitanya, and Gopichand, may lag slightly behind in terms of remuneration, fan base, and budget of the films. Despite competing with top-tier heroes and being active in the industry, their films' collections tend to be limited. Unseen by Star Directors! Star directors like Rajamouli, Trivikram, Sukumar, and Koratala Siva prefer working with top-tier heroes, which, fans argue, does injustice to stars like Vijay Deverakonda and Nani. The exclusion by star directors reportedly prevents these actors from achieving pan-Indian success. Even though they release films with new directors at a pan-India level, they don't achieve the expected results. Hero Nani faced this with his project 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' planned for a pan-India release but still not released in Hindi. Fans suggest that despite having talent, the lack of star power beyond Tollywood is a disadvantage for Nani. Are Stories Failing Too? A great cast cannot save a film if the story fails. Whether a film is a success or a failure largely depends on the story. Fans are questioning whether 'Tier 2' heroes are choosing their scripts wisely. Recent films like Ram Pothineni's 'Double iSmart', Ravi Teja's 'Mr Bachchan', Nithiin's 'Extraordinary Man', and Gopichand's 'Rambanam' have left fans puzzled over why these actors accepted these projects. With big scripts mostly going to top-tier heroes, 'Tier 2' actors have to settle for what's left, some commentators feel. Nepotism vs Talent! The notion that only heirs in the film industry can succeed is a myth. If that were true, every offspring from major film families would become a star hero. No matter the background, without acting talent, longevity in the industry is impossible, as many heirs have demonstrated. Actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Ravi Teja, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Adivi Sesh, and Naveen Polishetty have made their mark without any significant background, solely based on their talent. A significant success for Nani could propel him to 'Tier 1', fueling speculations among fans. The Fault Lies in the Audience! In a past interview, actors Rana and Nani made interesting comments about nepotism. Rana highlighted the unseen pressures and responsibilities that come with inheritance, stating that nepotism only helps to an extent, and without talent, one cannot survive in the industry. Nani, addressing the role of nepotism in cinema, mentioned that it's not industry insiders but the audience that fosters nepotism. He pointed out the disparity in audience size between his debut and that of actor Charan, questioning the audience's role in perpetuating nepotism.
