It is a question that has the entire Tollywood searching an answer for.

Ever since Nagarjuna's Mass (Damunte Kasuko) went on the floors, the talk was stray and whispered in every corner. Who is the number one heroine in Mass, Charmy or Jyothika?

Logically speaking, Jyothika being the senior pro in the industry should be the leading lady of the film.

But it may not quite be the case, say some unit hands.

"See Charmy is one of the happening actresses of Tollywood," unit hands say. "So she has the better of the frames".

Charmy has obviously come a long way since her hesitant start a few seasons back. After Sri Anjaneyam and Gauri, Charmy is hot on the happening. Her liberal body show is a hit with young fans.

Jyothika, by industry standards, is certainly over the hill. "She is a spent force. And at any rate, she is seen more as a Tamil actress," says a Mass crewmember.

So in essence, Charmy may walk away with all the important scenes and plaudits thereof.

It pays to be young. Isn't ?
