Recently, several established actors who have been facing a decline in their careers have revitalized their stardom by embracing villian roles. A prime example is Jagapathi Babu, who once seemed unstoppable with hits like ‘Nannaku Prematho’. However, the things are different now.
Tollywood’s tendency towards fresh villains is nothing new and has now led to an search of talent from Tamil and Malayalam cinema. Some of them includes Samuthirakani and Shine Tom Chacko. Now, it’s time for Bollywood’s Bobby Deol. Post his ‘Animal’ appearance, Deol has grabbed roles in Surya’s ‘Kanguva’ and NBK’s ‘#109’, and is rumored to be the frontrunner for Nagarjuna’s upcoming movie. Looks like Tollywood audience are going to witness a Bobby Deol wave in the coming year.
This trend suggests a potential drop in offers for Jagapathi Babu’s who is currently the best destination for villian roles. But it would be unwise to count out the seasoned Telugu actor Jagapathi Babu, who has promising and significant projects like ‘Salaar 2’ lined up.
