Sridevi and Chiranjeevi were among the biggest stars in Indian cinema. While Chiranjeevi dominated Telugu films Sridevi was successful in both South Indian and Bollywood industries. Their on-screen pair was always a hit. However one unexpected incident led to Sridevi rejecting a film with Chiranjeevi due to a specific demand.

Director Kodandarami Reddy and the Paruchuri Brothers planned Kondaveeti Donga featuring Chiranjeevi in the lead role. They needed a strong female lead and felt Sridevi was the perfect choice. The role required her to play a confident police officer, which suited her acting style.

When approached for the film Sridevi had one request—her character’s name should be included in the title. She suggested names like Kondaveeti Rani to emphasize her role. However, since Chiranjeevi was the main star, the filmmakers found it difficult to fulfill her demand.

Tamil cinema boasts numerous actors and superstars, but on the national stage, Rajinikanth and Vijay are two of the most iconic figures from the Tamil film industry. Both have massive fan bases not only in Tamil Nadu but also beyond. While the fans often find themselves at odds, there is no apparent rivalry between the two stars themselves. In fact, they are known to be extremely cordial with one another.

A prime example of this is the Vettaiyan star extending his well-wishes to Vijay when he ventured into politics. However, despite their friendship, things recently got a bit out of hand during an online clash between the fans of Rajinikanth and Vijay. The latest controversy revolves around derogatory remarks and verbal abuse directed at Vijay by individuals claiming to be Rajinikanth’s fans on social media.

Is Nepotism Ending Soon In Tollywood? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

In recent years, pan-Indian movies have taken over the film industry. Almost every actor dreams of becoming a pan-Indian hero. However, Tollywood has faced criticism for years due to nepotism, where family connections seemed to matter more than talent. The good news is that things are changing, and audiences now value talent over background.

Take Chiranjeevi’s family as an example. Megastar Chiranjeevi has ruled Tollywood for decades. His son Ram Charan stepped into the industry with a lot of expectations. However, Ram Charan didn’t gain nationwide recognition because of his father. His Pan India success came after delivering a stellar performance in Rrr. On the other hand, Game Changer, another big-budget movie of his, didn’t meet expectations. This shows that talent and good content are more important than lineage.
