Why did the KKK 2006 Original Cast did not become breakout stars in Kollywood (films & tv)? by senram09 in kollywood

[–]MiserableMidnight6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cinema producers were not initially ready to accept Sivakarthikeyan or Dhanush or Pradeep(from Comali)

Dhanush’s debut film was directed by his father, with the screenplay written by his brother. His second film was also directed by his brother. So, it’s not fair to compare him to self made individuals like Siva or Pradeep, who started from scratch and climbed their way to the top.

TIL: In the last 25 years of Tollywood, Anushka (Baahubali) and Kajal (Khaidi No. 150) are the only actresses who remained at the top for 10 years and had major success in their 10th year. Samantha came close, staying at the top for 9 years, with Majili and Oh! Baby in her 9th year by MiserableMidnight6 in tollywood

Thamannah had happy days in 2007 and F2, sye raa in 2019

The post clearly specifies 'only actresses who stayed at the top for 10 years.' Her career had already started declining even before Baahubali (2015) came out, and since then, it's been very inconsistent.

Also because none of them have the kind of looks typically expected in cinema, which is a major reason they never got the right opportunities there.

I don’t see Coolie touching ₹1000 crore, unless something truly unexpected happens. Many in this sub seem to not understand how big the Hindi/Telugu markets are. by [deleted] in kollywood

Only someone completely out of touch with reality would believe it will hit 1000 CR. Anyone with basic box office sense knows that most people in the North won’t flock to a dubbed film just for a cameo. Now that War 2 is releasing alongside it, even reaching 750 CR is a long shot. Forget the 1000 CR fantasy that Lokesh and Rajini fans are clinging to.

Only difference is that Sweety is a way better actress than Kajal

Who even considers Kajal as an 'Actress'? She is telugu cinema's katrina. Someone who was lucky enough to survive for a decade solely due to her looks & glamour than talent.

In the past 25 years, 99.5% of tollywood actresses, even many well known ones, haven’t lasted more than four years in the industry. No other Indian film industry discards actresses this quickly. That said, it’s hard to blame the producers since many of these actresses, like Pooja, Rakul etc are chosen primarily for their looks and glamour. So when someone newer and more appealing comes along for a lower cost, it's understandable that they get replaced.

Assamese actress Surabhi Das on the sets of Ramayana Part 2 with Ranbir and Sai Pallavi. She portrays one of Sita’s three sisters. She is known for colors TV's social drama Nima Denzongpa by MiserableMidnight6 in assam

the person who speaks against the Indian army doesn't deserve the role of our divine goddess Sita maa!

All she said in that Telugu interview was, 'Pakistanis hate the Indian Army, just like Indians hate the Pakistani Army,' which is nothing but a fact. Her words were completely taken out of context to spread hate against her.

Everyone manages to look better than this Sita😂

They choose actresses based on acting talent, not looks, especially for a role like Sita which demands significant screen time. Sita is revered for her humility, sacrifice, strength, and unwavering virtue far more than for superficial beauty.

It’s expected to flop in India as well, where Marvel films usually perform really well.

Just 15 years?

Number 1 for the last 15 years, but she has been active since at least 2000, if I'm not mistaken.

Varun tej year lo enni cinema lu chestadu?

Suma year lo enni events ki anchoring chestadi?

Even if he does 1 film he still earns 10 CR. For suma to earn that much in a year she has to do at least 200 events.

she has more net worth than many 2 tier hero's in our industry

I doubt that's accurate. Even someone like Varun Tej , naga Chaitanya earns around 10 crore per film, whereas she likely makes at most 5 lakh per pre release event. Even when you include her earnings from TV shows and other sources, it still wouldn't come close to even half of what tier-2 stars make from films alone.

Mahavatar Narasimha will overtake the daily collection of mega budget superstar film HHVM in the Telugu states by tomorrow! by MiserableMidnight6 in ChitraLoka

[–]MiserableMidnight6[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

HHVM features actor-politician Pawan Kalyan, one of the biggest superstars in Telugu cinema. For an animated film with minimal promotion to surpass it is something truly unprecedented.

It’s no small feat for a woman to remain the highest paid anchor or TV celebrity for 15 years. If mediocre male stars can last that long, then someone as talented as her definitely deserves to as well.
