Tollywood makers are in awe and are in a celebratory mode when Balakrishna's Akhanda, Allu Arjun's Pushpa, and then Rajamouli's RRR created a sensation in Tollywood and across the country. When national and international celebrities imitated the mannerisms,dialogues, and mannerisms of Allu Arjun's Pushpa and when Hollywood celebrities raved about Rajamouli's RRR talking about the high octane scenes, fans and stars started celebrating and many got disillusioned that Tollywood is shining and it has become the vital cog and is powering the Bollywood and the Indian film industry.
The media came up with articles on how Bollywood is unable to replicate Baahubali magic with Shamshera, Prithviraj, etc singing praises of Tollywood. However the reality is fast dawning on them and Tollywood stars are sliding down the ladder if they do not realize, get awakened and introspect, they will be in for a serious shock.
Chiranjeevi got a huge shock in form of Acharya and is yet to recover from it. Mahesh Babu's Sarkaru Vaari Paata got a mixed talk and he is in two minds. Prabhas got shocked in form of Radhe Shyam and is unable to come out of it. Raviteja got shocks from Khiladi and Ramarao On Duty, Gopichand crashlanded with Pakka Commercial and Ram came down with The Warriorr. Venkatesh and Varun Tej felt that they scraped through with F3 but the reality is different. Nagarjuna's Bangarraju is no different and same is the case with Rana's Virataparvam.
Sharwanand,Varun Tej,Nani,Raj Tharun,Aadi and others also got shocks at the box office. This shows that stars are experiencing a free fall and sliding at a supersonic speed and corrective measures should be taken without any further delay.
