Apart from RX100 hero Karthikeya, the industry has not been able to dish out successful actors. There is a new crop like Naveen Polishetty, Siva Kandukuri, Vyshnav Tej, Keeravanis’s son Sri Simha but all of them are yet to show success and only then people will be ready to invest on them.
Even Chiranjeevi’s son-in-law Kalyan Dhev has not been able to impress the audience. Years back when Shekar Kammula made Happy Days and Life Is Beautiful, a new generation of actors came up like Varun Sandesh, Vijay Devarakonda, Nikhil.
Nani too made a fast impact but now the change is slow. Though we have star siblings like Anand Devarakonda and Allu Sirish, the audience has given them a thumbs down. The only ones right now who is consistently impressing people is Sree Vishnu.
We need directors, who are popular to introduce new artistes. Shekar Kammula actually began a film with newcomers, Dimple Hayathi was the heroine but he shelved it. He then took up the same subject and has made it with Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya for commercial success.
