Tollywood: Two Heroes Nearing Tier 1 Status

In the Tollywood industry, actors are classified into 3 tiers on the basis of their box office success and their market value. Tier 1 is occupied by mass stars like Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, NTR, and Prabhas, whose movies always have more than 150 crores collection at the Box Office with the super hits crossing 200 crores.

Tier 2 includes artists like Nani or Vijay Deverakonda whose films normally fall between 30-50 crore range as well as their blockbusters that often generate more than 100 crores. Tier 3 constitutes the small heroes like Suhas, Naga Shourya, Naveen and so on whose box office collections and stardom are somewhat lesser.

Nevertheless, it is suspected that a small number of Tier 2 heroes, including Nani and Vijay Deverakonda, who are renowned for their charismatic qualities and powerful fan base even without any leadership status, might end up at Tier 1 in the near future.

Vijay Deverakonda, after all, is looking forward to a pan-Indian hit, with great expectation, because he has three huge movies lined up for production. This selection consists of Cop action drama with Gowtam Tinnanuri, a film directed by Rahul Sankrityan of Mythri Movie Makers, and another project of Dil Raju which is the director Ravi Kiran Kola.
