There is high demand for prostitute characters in Indian cinema. During mid eighties, artists with strong devotion towards performance have only dared to opt for such characterizations. But times have changed and roles of sex workers have become iconic with top heroines now a days. From Kareena Kapoor to Bindu Madhavi, many have tried these.
Off late in Telugu, Anushka is one heroine who got immense recognition with Amalapuram Saroja role in ‘Vedam.’ Later on, it is Telugu girl Bindu Madhavi pinned a lot of hopes with sex worker role in ‘Sega’ that didn’t get any appreciation both promotion and performance wise. Indeed, there can be an inference that all Prostitutes are not the same because those who win BO are called saleable and hot while others like Bindu are passive from viewers point.
