Telugu audience always accept non-Telugu heroes: Netizens
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,October 04 2022]
'Ponniyin Selvan-I' has been compared constantly with 'Baahubali' by the Telugu audience. On the other hand, the Tamil audience are seeing the comparison as motivated. There is this charge that the Telugu cine-goers are against 'PS-I' because it has been made by a Tamil filmmaker with a predominantly non-Telugu cast.
But Netizens are reminding the critics that the Telugu audience have always been the most large-hearted ones. Tamil actors such as Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Surya, Vikram, Ajith, Karthi, and Vijay have been accepted by the Telugu audience without any reservations. The Surya-Karthi duo started enjoying the utmost popularity in the then-united Andhra Pradesh even before the Tamil audience were enthused about them. 'Aparichitudu' made Vikram so popular among the Telugus that some Tollywood heroes started seeing him as a competition.
We TRY and WIN the hearts of all regions. We wholeheartedly WELCOME people from all regions. That's why many non-Telugu heroes have a big market in the Telugu States. We love them, commented producer SKN.
