Many Telugu film stars have made their way to Bollywood throughout the years, but few have had a long-term impact. Stars such as Venkatesh, Chiranjeevi, and Nagarjuna first achieved fame in Bollywood but then reverted to their regional roots. However, with the growth of the pan-Indian market, the picture is shifting.
Telugu heroes like Prabhas have amassed massive nationwide fan bases, as evidenced by the success of “Salaar” in the Hindi market. After the huge success of “RRR” movie performers such as Ram Charan and NTR are aiming for pan-Indian recognition. NTR, in particular, is taking a risk by joining the cast of “War 2,” with Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan.
This move distinguishes him from his predecessors, who primarily appeared in lone hero films in Bollywood. While NTR is known for his exceptional acting abilities, working with someone as captivating as Hrithik provides a different challenge. Hrithik’s extraordinary film presence and magnetic charm will put NTR to the test as he strives to prove himself on a grander scale.
Considering chances, NTR’s choice to accept this big challenge reflects his desire to extend his reach beyond regional boundaries limits. It remains to be a seen whether he can compete with Hrithik, but his willingness to take risks demonstrates his desire to carve out a position for himself in the extremely competitive world of Bollywood.
