Tollywood filmmakers cautious over village belle roles

Of late,the way Tollywood filmmakers depcited female leads as village belles in their films on screen received lot of negative feedback and also backlash from one and all. It became a troll material on social media.

Following this,it is coming out that filmmakers are exercising caution on showing heroines in village belle roles. A filmmaker says "It has become difficult to portray village belle characters the way we once did. Every frame is dissected on social media and even genuine creative choices are often misunderstood," He adds "The backlash has made directors far more careful while presenting rural women on screen."

Producer Abhishek Agarwal who cast Nupur Sanon in Ravi Teja's Tiger Nageswara Rao says "It all depends on the story and the character. Nupur had absolutely no hesitation in transforming from a glamorous actress into a simple village girl because the film was set in a rural backdrop and her appearance had to reflect that reality,"

He shared "If the story unfolds in a village, the heroine obviously cannot be dressed in Western outfits. Whether they come from Bollywood or elsewhere, actresses are always willing to adopt new looks that suit the character and showcase their versatility,"

Jeevitha Rajasekhar says "Rangasthalam started a new wave and Pushpa took it to another level. Sukumar has consistently told stories rooted in rural life, and those characters feel authentic and emotionally relatable. That is why audiences connect with them,"
