Tollywood getting divided on AP and TG lines
Till sometime back, AP and Telangana people used to embrace culture and celebrate them on the screen whenever the particulaar dialect, traditions , lifestyle and cuture are highlighted on the screen. However, of late one is witnessing the disturbing trend of Tollywood getting bifurcated on regional lines.
While Vijay Devarakonda's Ranabaali has been hailed by people in the Ceded and Andhra region, it didnot do well in Telangana region. Similarly Nani's The Paradise did well in the Telangana and Nizam region while Andhra, Rayalaseema and Ceded regions suffered huge losses.
Same is the case with Garividi Lakshmi, which got good support in Uttara Andhra. This is now forcing the filmmakers to target only particular region. While some stars to avoid this trouble are using simple dialogues in Telugu to attract all sections of viewers rather than use regional slang which is resulting in such differentiationb.
While star heroes films donot face much differentiation, tier 2 heroes are getting impacted by it.
