You should have write this under the heading big heros in telugu. For Chiru this is very wrong article. Among all the big hero, he the first to accept and encourage the new talent. He doesn't have to act with them but he loves the talent and he gives opertunity to them. He is only looking for the movies that suites his age. Not like other old heros.
s...as u said ..all big stars hav fear to do xperiments ..this is y being a 2nd biggest film industry ..
really v dont hav good movies... and it is shamefull that no star in our industry recvd national award....
The fear of losing stardom and image are the only reasons for Chiranjeevi (for that factor all big heroes of Tollywood. The so called interference of these stars inthe movie making has reached heights and the directors of today like Jagannadh, VVV, Rajmouli, Krishna Vamsi are in no position to accept. The case in Hollywood is viceversa and hence we find superstars like Sharukh doing a Swades n song and danceless Chak de India, Amir doing a negative role in Fanaa.
The reason why NTR faded into oblivion with success still lingering on his shoulders was he was always a Directors actor and NTR when doing films. With his success and craze he could have done many more films. Yesteryear Directors n Producers like Dasari, Raghavebdra Rao, Ashwani Dutt, Rama Naidu confirm this lines and hence a new banner or old banner, a new Director or old Director NTR succeeded in delivering stupendous hits.
The present crop of heroes by virtue of their past hits have moulded themselves into a circle wherein they are not in a position to accept a new role or act in a film where Director has more leverage. Hence we cannot find our heroes doing a film like Chak De India or Rang De Basanti or Swades. Its the image they have garnered over the years which they want to cherish and hence meaningless movies with them. The story of tlugu film is very simple whomso ever the hero is " 6 songs (1 solo song shovering praises on hero), 3 or 4 fights in which hero decimates his rivals to pulp and hits the goons hundreds of feet into the air, couple of high voltage scenes where in hero challenges the vilain or his gang, two heroines and a meaningless climax. This is the format of the telugu movie for the past six to seven years and only change we find is the name of the hero (Chiranjeevi, Nag, NBK, MAhesh, NTR etc.)
If U are taking a time with Chiru can U ask him that many people want's see movie with him and puri i don't understand why he is not taking risk like before he does.
Now the heroes are limited for acting there is no scope for proving their talents and showing their glamour only.
Those are not actors there are only heroes. It is a glam industry every one is doing business.There is no talent and no acting. Every hero is doing business with their image. Its universal fact.
Coming to fans also its waste for their life and even spoil his life. First of all the fans has to realise the things. what we are getting from movies. There is no change even if we saw a gud movie which is useful for society. They forgot the things while coming out from the theatre. If any one tell there is a movie which changed the society. There is no answer. While coming to hollywood to kollywood also same thing happens. All heros fans has to decide why we are creating meaningless gossips all over the net its waste of your time.No use to support heroes or opposite to heroes. No producer or hero is dare to do the movie for free. Coming to directors they are changing the society while keeping the vulgar dialogues and stupid comedy in every movie.
Please think once again while going for a movie.
NO, YOUR OPINION IS WRONG. THE WRITER DIDNT ASKED CHIRU TO DO CLASSICAL MOVIES. HE POINTED OUT THAT SOMANY DIRECTORS LIKE MANIRATNAM, SANKAR, KRISHNAVAMSI...CAN DO MASS MOVIES WHICH SUITS CHIRU LIKE DALAPATI, NAYAKUDU, OKKE OKKADU, GENTLEMAN LIKE THAT... WHY SHOULD CHIRU DOESNT GIVE A CHANCE TO SHOW A FRESH MASS IMAGE INSTEAD OF ROUTINE MASS MASALA. THATS ALL... GOOD ONE KARAVADI... KEEP IT UP.. ANOTHER BOMB BLAST IN CINEGOER. TANQ
From the beginning of his career, Chiranjeevi has been doing commercial mass oriented films only.His all block busters are mass movies, engineered with fights, dances and mass thoughts. That's it. So he registered in people's hearts like that only.Perhaps he did Rudraveena that he could get some awards. His motto was fulfilled.
For example, look at Rajanikant and kamal hasan he can not to do all characters.He does only his style of acting in every movie he does, but people like it.Kamal Hasan is a versatile actor since his beginning of his career, so that if does any character people going to accept it.So all depend on how you build your image.You can not change your image oneday.If chiranjeevi acted in 'Aa naluguru' then that movie might me flopped at the box office. Chiranjeevi is an actor only for mass. He is not a class hero to do experiments with so called creative directors.
If a movie is appreciated by people and made money at box office means that is a good movie. People verdict is a god's verdict.
The article misses the fact that he did try variety before and the audience rejected them badly. Case in point "Rudraveena". Hailed as one of the best movies made in Telugu (which won 4 national awards, perhaps no other telugu movie ever won so many national awards) was a humungous failure when it was released. Another more recent example " Shankardada Zindabad". This is a movie where there are literally no fights for him and even is shown as a person who has halucinations, and what was the result? Another big fat failure. Telugu audience taste has changed significantly. Take the recent hits Pokiri, Desamuduru , Yamadonga, Jalsa (a bit better than the rest, but still cannot be categorized as a good movie) - all are unpretentious out and out mass masala movies. Telugu audience has no patience for a K.V's Shankarabharanam or a Bapu's Seeta Kalyanam.

we expect to reach our star heroes.....
at least then thy may change their mind set in encouraging new talents and creative directors.then our industry reaches to heights in cine field
