Second Heroines victims of Trivikram Srinivas
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,January 10 2024]
Trivikram Srinivas, widely hailed as the Wizard of Words, has carved a niche in the film industry with numerous super hit films featuring top stars such as Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, NTR, Allu Arjun, and more. Actresses, eager to be a part of his cinematic realm, readily sign up for roles in his projects without hesitation, even if it means playing the second heroine.
However, a prevailing sentiment among many is that, in Trivikram's films, the roles of second heroines seem to lack significance. Despite their presence in his movies, these characters often do not contribute substantially to the overarching narrative or storytelling. Instead, they tend to appear fleetingly in a couple of scenes and then fade into the background.
Instances of this trend abound. Parvati Melton, for example, found herself with limited screen time in Pawan Kalyan's Jalsa, while Pranitha Subhash, in Attarintiki Daaredi, at least had a few scenes and the blockbuster song 'Bapu Bomma' to her credit. Anu Emmanuel faced a similar fate in Agnyaathavaasi, another Pawan Kalyan starrer. Eesha Rebba's role in NTR's Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava amounted to only a couple of inconsequential scenes. In Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Trivikram's treatment left Nivetha Pethuraj with a limited presence. Even Anupama Parameswaran, despite her talent, found herself confined to a few scenes in Nani's A Aa, directed by Trivikram.
Now, reports suggest that Meenakshi Chaudhary, the second lead in Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram, is facing a similar fate, with Mahesh Babu himself acknowledging her limited role during a pre-release event. The recurring pattern raises concerns about when Trivikram will consider offering substantial roles to second heroines, moving away from the trend of sidelining them in his narratives.
Fans of these heroines and movie lovers are pitying them and are wondering why these beauties are signing the dotted lines after knowing verywell that their roles are inconsequential. The question lingers: when will Trivikram bestow significant roles upon second heroines, ending the pattern of sidelining and victimizing them in his cinematic creations?
