SKN on beauties attacking Tollywood
Over the last few years, actresses like Radhika Apte, Tapsee, Janhvi Kapoor and others have been attacking Tollywood after attaining name and fame by romancing top stars before making it to Bollywood.
In the midst of all this, star producer SKN shared his views. He came up with the following powerful post.
Accepting roles, working in South Indian cinema, gaining recognition and opportunities here, and then, years later, criticising the same industry, its stories and cultural traditions is becoming an unfortunate pattern.
Every actor has the right to express an opinion. But there is a difference between constructive criticism and selectively looking down upon an industry that welcomed you.
Telugu cinema and #SouthIndian cinema have their own cultural identity, traditions and storytelling values. What may seem unusual to someone from another region can be perfectly normal within our culture.
Respect should be mutual. You cannot celebrate the opportunities and later disrespect the culture behind them. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Selective criticism and cultural superiority are not. Respect the industry that respected you.
