Faded actresses for divine intervention

Faded Actresses for divine intervention.After a hiatus, a number of Actresses are endeavoring to reclaim their prominence in Tollywood, seeking to revive the glories of their past. Hansika Motwani marked her return with 'My Name Is Sruthi,' Avika Gor is making a comeback with a project alongside producer Bekkam Venugopal, followed by Mehreen in 'Spark,' and Trisha is actively exploring opportunities for a Tollywood stint. Even Anu Emmanuel took a chance with 'Japan,' but unfortunately, it didn't yield the much-needed breakthrough for her in Telugu cinema. Meanwhile, Anjali is placing her bets on 'Geetanjali Mali Vachindi.' Producer Lagadapati Sridhar notes, "Few divas may struggle to regain their previous positions," emphasizing that Actresses below 27 have better chances, while those over 30 must work harder.

Actresses like Hansika Motwani, Avika Gor, and Anu Emmanuel had successful runs in Telugu cinema. Hansika had notable hits like 'Desamaduru' and 'Dhenikaina Ready,' while Avika Gor gained widespread recognition in Telugu states with successes such as 'Uyyalla Jumpala' and 'Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki.' However, Anu Emmanuel, despite sharing the screen with stars like Allu Arjun and Naga Chaitanya, faced challenges at the box office.

Producer Abhishek Nama highlights the difficulty faced by Actresses trying to make a comeback, pointing out that new talents emerge during their absence. He cites the rapid rise of Actresses like Rashmika, Sreeleela, and Mrunal Thakur, making it challenging for returning divas.

Yet, exceptions exist, as seen with Shruti Haasan, who returned with 'Krack' and achieved a hat-trick with hits like 'Veerasimha Reddy' and 'Waltair Veerayya.' Nama acknowledges her success while discussing the case of comeback artist Ileana, who, after ruling Tollywood, lost her space upon transitioning to Bollywood.

Actress Poorna, who returned with 'Akhanda,' rejects the term "comeback," asserting that she and others were always present, often labeled as such due to engagements in Tamil and Malayalam cinema. Director Teja supports the freedom of Actresses to explore diverse opportunities, asserting that the notion of comebacks is a myth. He concludes that Actresses, like actors, should seek new challenges to expand their careers and enhance their skills, dismissing any expiration date in the industry.
