Vishnu Manchu is angry
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,April 14 2016]
If Manchu Manoj in the past had no reservations about acting with Allu Arjun, it's Vishnu Manchu years later who has become a champion of multi-starrers. In Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam, the actor has a full-fledged role shared with Raj Tarun. Saying that, unlike in Bollywood, we (meaning actors and directors) in Tollywood are living like frogs in a well as far as multi-starrers are concerned, Vishnu recently expressed his willingness to do even five-minute roles if the need be.
He has been quoted as saying that he will be ready to play such cameos if he feels that he can impress the audience regardless of the length and constraints of a role. "May be those who are not ready to do multi-starrers have no confidence," he said.
While it's true that actors in Bollywood (or even in Kollywood) happily push the envelope either because they needed it for survival or they don't have egos, it's also true that in an industry where heroes are mired in a game of stereotypes and ambitions (as in Tollywood), breaking the mould is easier said than done.
