Comedians enjoy more of shelf life than other artists in our industry. There are many top comedians who have left a strong imprint on Telugu audience hearts which is comparable even with charisma of legendary names like NTR, SVR and ANR etc. Whatsoever, we hear the names of Brahmanandam, Ali, Late Dharmavarapu, Late MS Narayana etc in the present generation.
With recent deaths of few top comedians, industry definitely needs someone to fill the space. As young talents aren’t showing the same promising prospective, looks like we have to depend on experienced comedians. Best in this category would be Prudhviraj, popularized with the mannerism of ’30 Years Industry.’
Ballireddy Prudhviraj has enormous experience in handling the character artist and comedian characters. He is assumed to have got strong break with ‘Loukyam’ wherein his hilarious spoofing of ‘Legend’ Balakrishna raised the hit level of film. However, he isn’t seen much often these days in side splitting roles. Artists like Prudhviraj have to be fed with worthwhile characters in order for Telugu comedy to stay alive for next generations.
