TL;DR Telugu fans are upset š¢ that Bollywood directors keep failing to showcase their superstars properly. From Ram Charanās Zanjeer, to Prabhasā Adipurush, and now NTRās 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 š„
Thereās a trend going on thatās breaking many Telugu hearts š. 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 CharanĀ . After ruling the Telugu industry with Magadheera, he tried his luck in Bollywood with the ZanjeerĀ remake. But that film crashed big time . Director Apoorva Lakhia couldnāt make Ram Charan shine, and fans said he was forced into a style that didnāt suit him.
Then came PrabhasĀ . After Baahubali, the entire nation saw him as a mega star. Everyone expected AdipurushĀ to be the next big thingābecause 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 š”. Instead of glory, Prabhas got trolled hard.
Now, the latest: NTR Jr. in War 2Ā š„. NTR is loved worldwide after RRRĀ , and his own DevaraĀ has fans hyped. But when director Ayan Mukerji put him next to Hrithik Roshan in War 2, fans feel he was sidelined . The movie didnāt use his full power, and audiences say, āWhy bring NTR if you wonāt show his real mass?ā
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 flopĀ .
Why This Hurts the People š
For the working-class audience in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, cinema isnāt just entertainment š„āitās 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 āadd-onsā instead of giving them equal space.
From the peopleās 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 š
This issue shows how unequal the film industry still is. Stars from the South are bringing audiences and money , but Bollywood bosses donāt give them proper importance. From the peopleās perspective, cinema should celebrate every hero equally and tell stories that connect to the masses. Not everything should be about hype and glamourābecause in the end, itās the peopleās ticket money that keeps the industry alive.
