As the release date draws closer, excitement mounts for “Robinhood” to unfold its story on the big screen.

The power game of stardom is very interesting to witness in South cinema right now. While amazing films have been coming from the industry, the star quotient in the industry is at its peak. And joining that league seems to be actress Sreeleela, who is emerging as a new favourite of many a directors.

After taking over Pooja Hegde, Sreeleela is now conquering hearts and moving on to take over Rashmika Mandanna’s throne too. Going by reports, Sreeleela is replacing Rashmika in Venky Kudumula’s next.

Before replacing Rashmika, Sreeleela also replaced Pooja Hegde in Guntur Kaaram. Pooja who shared a very strong bond with Trivikram, left fans shocked when she opted out of his film. However, Sreeleela became the perfect choice to step into Pooja’s shoes. Even with Venky and Rashmika, something similar has happened.

Venky who considers Rashmika as her lucky charm seems to be turning his attention towards Sreeleela.

TollywoodOur heroes don't need any planning or preparation to turn into achievers.Rajeswari Parasa“Next enti?” is a terrorising question that youngsters in the Telugu states face, and variants of this are probably common across the country. What are you going to study next and which job will you land? But though we live in such a perpetually inquisitive society, Telugu cinema heroes somehow manage to escape the well-meaning uncles, aunties and neighbours who ask such questions in real life. They manage to stay jobless for most of the movie but suddenly jump into a career that most of us can only dream of. They can become Chief Ministers, Chief Executive Officers, police officers, collectors, kickboxers, wrestlers and what not overnight. They don't need any planning or preparation to turn into achievers. It can happen over the course of a song or sometimes, not even that much effort is required.

Like in Geeta Govindam, Chaitra is a pretty trope, and her job is to tell the audience again and again and again how lucky it is for a woman to be loved by someone like Bheeshma (Nithiin), because he would go to any extent for the woman he loves (insert...
