TL;DR Telugu fans are upset 😢 that Bollywood directors keep failing to showcase their superstars properly. From Ram Charan’s Zanjeer, to Prabhas’ Adipurush, and now NTR’s War 2, every time a Telugu hero enters Bollywood land, the director seems to miss the magic. Meanwhile, when Telugu directors handle Bollywood heroes, they deliver superhits. Fans are now asking: why is Bollywood struggling to give justice to Telugu talent?
The Full Story 💥
There’s a trend going on that’s breaking many Telugu hearts 💔. Every time a superstar from Andhra or Telangana steps into Bollywood, things somehow flop. Fans feel cheated because their heroes are not given the proper respect or powerful roles.
First up, Ram Charan . After ruling the Telugu industry with Magadheera, he tried his luck in Bollywood with the Zanjeer remake. But that film crashed big time . Director Apoorva Lakhia couldn’t make Ram Charan shine, and fans said he was forced into a style that didn’t suit him.
Then came Prabhas . After Baahubali, the entire nation saw him as a mega star. Everyone expected Adipurush to be the next big thing—because it was based on the epic Ramayana . But director Om Raut completely failed to capture the emotion. Bad VFX, poor dialogues, and disrespectful presentation made fans super angry 😡. Instead of glory, Prabhas got trolled hard.
Now, the latest: NTR Jr. in War 2 🔥. NTR is loved worldwide after RRR , and his own Devara has fans hyped. But when director Ayan Mukerji put him next to Hrithik Roshan in War 2, fans feel he was sidelined . The movie didn’t use his full power, and audiences say, “Why bring NTR if you won’t show his real mass?”
This has led to one strong sentiment across Telugu states: when Telugu directors handle Bollywood heroes, they make blockbusters, but when Bollywood directors handle Telugu heroes, they flop .
Why This Hurts the People 😔
For the working-class audience in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, cinema isn’t just entertainment 🎥—it’s pride. When Bollywood fails to show their stars properly, it feels like an insult to the hard-earned success of these actors. The big-money industry treats them like “add-ons” instead of giving them equal space.
From the people’s side, the demand is simple: stop using Telugu actors as side attractions and start respecting their talent. The people make these stars, not the big Mumbai studios.
MediaFx Take 📝
This issue shows how unequal the film industry still is. Stars from the South are bringing audiences and money , but Bollywood bosses don’t give them proper importance. From the people’s perspective, cinema should celebrate every hero equally and tell stories that connect to the masses. Not everything should be about hype and glamour—because in the end, it’s the people’s ticket money that keeps the industry alive.
