Is It The End of Number 1 Race in Tollywood?

The Number 1 race in Tollywood has been an evasive development over the years. The likes of Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh have aced the race over the last few decades. While the new bunch of stars like Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, NTR, Prabhas, and Allu Arjun started to ace it in the last two decades.

However, going by the latest projections and box office trends, it appears to be that the number 1 race in Tollywood is a gone case. There is no one consolidated hero who is up for the number 1 title. It has all come down to the box office returns of each hero at an individual capacity.

For instance, Prabhas has a couple of 1000 crore grossers, and the likes of Allu Arjun, NTR and Ram Charan are after this record now. Mahesh Babu is anyway bound to attain this in the future with Rajamouli. Back in the day, the numbers race was confined to Tollywood and the hero with the biggest collections was projected to be the number 1 star. But now that the horizons have expanded, it is essential that every hero goes on a race of his own and wins it.

These days, films made on Rs 10 crore budget are doing Rs 100 crores at the box office while films made on 100 crores budgets are confining to 10 crores returns. At this point in time, there is no added values to a hero while the content reigns supreme.

The only advantage that star heroes are boasting of are the openings. Regardless of the talk, these stars are getting sizeable openings and that is about it. Everything depends on the content of the film from thereon.

The audience are lapping up the content and are ready to encourage such films regardless of the cast and crew. As things stand, content has become the number 1 leader of Tollywood and not the hero who is headlining the film. This is perhaps a positive trend that is needed to make good films consistently.

Vijay Sethupathi Faces Backlash for Silence on Nayanthara Rowdy Dhaan!

Often praised as one of Tamil cinema’s most talented performers, Vijay Sethupathi is at the center of a controversy that is reverberating across the business like a well-timed joke. His silence over the controversy surrounding Nayanthara’s Netflix movie “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale” is the reason for the subsequent backlash against him. His decision to keep quiet has left both supporters and detractors perplexed, wondering if he is playing a calculated game or just not seeing the signal to speak up in a world where every word has the potential to start a fire.

The main point of contention is that Nayanthara used footage from their joint movie “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan,” which infuriated co-star Vijay Sethupathi. Sethupathi’s lack of participation in the discussion feels like a comic who takes the stage but forgets their set, even if Nayanthara has bravely addressed the issue. Fans wonder why “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan”‘s title character is not responding to what many see to be a disrespect to their common cinematic heritage. His quiet stands in stark contrast to the demands made on prominent individuals to participate in debates and make their positions clear.

Silence may be as loud as a clarion call in the entertainment industry, as this case demonstrates. Celebrities are frequently expected to take sides, and when they don’t, fans may get disappointed and speculate. Sethupathi’s decision to remain silent could be interpreted as a calculated move, similar to a stand-up comedian who chooses to pause unexpectedly to keep the audience guessing. This tactic could backfire, too, if supporters take it to mean that he does not care for or support his colleagues.

In conclusion, even though Vijay Sethupathi is being cautious when negotiating these rough seas, it is impossible to help but wonder whether he is holding out for the ideal opportunity to inject his own humorous spin on the events. After all, timing is crucial in both comedy and the film industry. Maybe he is simply waiting for the right moment to make this disagreement into a joke that makes everyone laugh—after all, if you are not careful in this business, you might end yourself in someone else’s joke!
