In South, for any hero to have a long innings in film industry it is mandatory for him to secure a mass image. That is the reason why, Chiranjeevi or Balakrishna is remembered more than their contemporaries. They were trendsetters in delivering blockbusters which literally shook the BO in mid 1980 and 90’s. While Nagarjuna has succeeded only partially in achieving this milestone, now it is let for Naga Chaitanya but he is surely stumbling. Coming to other top hero Venkatesh, he was versatile throughout and Daggubati successor Rana initially adhered to his Babai’s path.
Fortunately, ‘Naa Ishtam’ is one film from Rana where in his characterization and dialogues mouthed are making Daggubati Fans feel happy about. ‘Yes, Rana has the skill and dexterity to fulfill the dearth of a mass hero from Daggubati family. He has well groomed body and a good family background which will come as big advantages. He needs to be just selective in scripts and directors. If, Rana sticks to basics then Tollywood might see some tremendous mass-action movies in future,’ is a view from an analyst.
