Btw the thought of loyal fanbases with generations swearing loyalty to generations of star families is scary. Just imagine if legions of SrBachchan fans would have sworn loyalty to Abhishek or Dharmendra fans would have sworn loyalty to Bobby Deol. 😲

D Ramanaidu also has a loyal fanbase? Thats news to me. How is he related to Venkatesh. Venkatesh has always appeared as the most low profile and decent star. Not sure if he too has skeletons in his cupboard.


well, not really but hes pretty famous and respected...plus venkatesh's family is related to nagarjuna's (nagarjuna's first wife was venkatesh's sister..so nagachaitanya is part daggubati) so their fans overalp...its all very confusing...

Why dont South Indian male stars click?

may be North people don't want to see their heroines romancing with Southern stars. as well as South people dont want to see their heroines romancing with Northern stars😆

I'm sorry but I can't picture someone like Danush/Dinesh whatever his name is as a lead actor in Bollywood movies. 🤢

I admit we do have faces like Ajay, Abshishek, SRK, Chandrachur, Manjor, but still that would be jsut 🤢

Wow, some remarks saying that most of the south indian actors are ugly??? How about the fact where the same ugly South actors winning National Award for their acting and performance? Even Dhanush won an National award only for his acting and his performance. Back in South, main concern is given for the script and their acting skills. Looks is an added bonus of course.

^^^Its unfair to generalize but I was in Bangalore for a while and I found some Kannada superstars like Puneeth Rajkumar, Upendra and Ganesh not good looking. But my knowledge about Kannada movie stars is really limited so I maybe wrong.

A couple of comments in the previous page were pretty racist but they might reveal the fundamental reason of why Southern stars are not widely accepted in Btown ..


I have to say .. I find Surya and Siddharth to be very Hot!!!

PS: i very much doubt that Ajay D or AB jr would have gotten bollywood breaks if they werent already connected to the industry ...

Dhanush has great features. He's a damn good looking guy. It's just that he's too skinny. 😆 If he were a little less frail-looking (in the face, too) there'd be no denying that he's a good looking guy.

Exact reason i dont know so just assuming

Till sometimes back I think there was a misconception abt south indian actors that they r mucchar ( moustache) , they r old, they r short , Not good looking etc etc etc thats why Rajnikant , nagarjun etc didnt make it , but their few good movies has worked ...its juts ppl never accepted them in typical lead roles , a hero who sings with heroine around the tree , action etc

Then BW movie's biggest main market is north india and wast , middle india , east india but Not south india ...they prefer their own language movies ...so first i think producers dont take risk by casting south indian actors in main lead they prefer good looking , tall kinda guys who can click in these parts of india , then ajy devgan kinds who very much click with North Indian audience or east west audience ...donnu may be its bcz he is frm north 😕

but its not no south indian ever clicked ...Suneil Shetty made it ...

so may be who is BW actor, clicks...who comes into BW after doing south movies doesn't click

madhvan now looks fat and i didnt like his look in jodi breaker ...he was amazing in RDB

then there r good looking south indians like Siddharth who cld have make it in BW but they never took interest , they preferred their own language movies when they had fans all over india , he never cared for his non-south fans ...now its too late for him to make it into BW



What??? North Indian actors are tall??? Then what's with SRK, SK and AK???And FYI Nagarjun is 6 feet tall and wayyy more good looking than any of the bolly stars...and so is Mahesh babu...

Its not that South stars are unable to make it in Bollywood...I don't think they are even interested in trying, as money and work discipline wise south is much better than Bollywood...South Indian movie industry works totally on a different plan and movies there get made in 3-4 months unlike the never ending sagas of the Bollywood...The heroes pretty much rule the roost there and get things done according to their terms...They get paid also more than their north Indian counterparts...So why stretch themselves from their comfort levels???

Its a different ball game for the heroines though...They don't get paid well and the stardom and recognition is also not as good as their bollywood counterparts...So it makes sense for them to try their luck in Bollywood...
