Allu Arjun leading Man and Ranveer the actor of the year by GQ India! - Page 10

How refreshing to read so much about south Indian Cinema! I loved Vedam (Arjun played a role there) and have watched some south Indian movies, so I know some names/actors mentioned here.

I find Dhanush totally uneasy in events and interviews with Bollywood media and so called national mainstream media. He seems like he is on edge of his seat and gets irritated when interviewers cannot pronounce names properly or get confused between Kollywood and Tollywood or keep asking him about his famous FIL Rajinikanth rather than about him or his work.

Yes Southern actors were always called taunts like 'kaale madraasi, muchhad', women were fat shamed, color shamed and people asked how come these guys or girls are superstars down south.

Rajinikanth was always mocked and turned into a joke or meme by national media and social media.

Rekha also talked of taunts and harassment she faced and people exploiting the fact that she did not know Hindi. And taking advantage of language gap.

Again, Arvind believed in Bunny more or Arvind to work on Siri’s career, are hypothetical assumptions. Bunny started his career when he was 19, things could take time for him too but it didn’t, obviously his dad believed in him, but I don’t think so he got extraordinary attention and Siri was sidelined or sth. Also, Bunny’s greatest hits are mostly not from Arvind productions except a couple I think, as I said Bunny just had it in him, hard work yes, but the man is just sth else onscreen and he really deserves all the euphoria around him.

Charan, well, yes could be the next Abhishekh Bacchan, but thankfully he’s not, apart from being humble and accepting, he’s Tried to experiment too, he’s good looking and has all the heroic qualities so I don’t see a problem in promoting such actors even if they’re nepo kids, the problem arises if they’re completely lazy, obnoxious and take their privilege too seriously. Even though Siri is very humble too (actually all the mega kids are humble) but I don’t think he’s a hero material so yeah, I surely don’t want to see him snatching roles which other actors deserve. With Bunny, I am 200% sure that nobody could be a better Arya or a better Bantu and with Charan also nobody could be a better bhairav or Ram, they own up their biggest gambles unlike what I felt watching Brahmarastra, I felt someone else could be a better Shiva than Ranbir so that’s the difference. However I am not denying, both Charan-Arjun are mega kids, the legacy of this family is HUGE, so yeah they’re lucky plus have to work extra hard too, it’s like the dinners over there house, I remember once Charan said, dinners at their place are where producers come to sign someone and they’re (mega cousins) confused and wondering who are they going to sign 😆🤣

Aravind is someone who curated careers of Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan carefully. What makes you think he hasn't done that for his own son? In fact rumor has it that Chiranjeevi was upset that Aravind didn't put in his 100% in curating Charan's career which lead to strain in their relationship along with the failed political party issue. But now with Charan also finding his place in the industry and getting accolades things seem to have cooled off a bit.

I think he’s improved a lot though, as a kid I watched Magadheera and I still love him for that. I think his script sense is bad and also Chiranjeevi’s influence ruins him, Bunny on the other hand chooses his films all himself I’m sure then maybe his dad gives inputs. Also I don’t know whether Charan has any iconic music director/actor or director/actor combo like bunny has with DSP/Thaman or Sukumar/Trivikram, all I know is Charan/SSR are the biggest. Charan’s next is with Shankar, another PAN India movie

I find him stiff. Even in the famous Natu Natu song if u see closely he is counting the steps and that's visible on his face unlike Tarak who was giving solid expressions while dancing. But yes he has improved a lot from when he started and also has found inner peace by accepting his strengths n weaknesses. Abhishek could never do that hence you see him struggle even today!

I didn’t say that he has no contribution in his sons success, all his m saying is the fact that he’s contributed to his son’s career itself isn’t a reason for Allu Arjun’s career, the way people are saying he’s an Alia or Ranbir, it’s definitely not what I’ll ever agree with. Similarly if he can curate full family’s career then he definitely contributed in Charan’s career too, it can’t be like he’s favoring only selective families, his father is the reason for the legacy of this family so they all have inherited it from Allu Ramlingam, but that itself isn’t the reason why don’t of their kids are pan India stars and some didn’t clock, it takes both talent and opportunities, Arvind definitely made opportunities for the mega kids but if the kids are as successful as bunny today then it’s a two way boat, just how having 17 flops in a row still didn’t vanish off Abhishekh, Bunny or Charan didn’t let it go till 17 flops right? From Arya itself he has worked on every character the way it was needed, neither he looks lazy onscreen or talks stupid stuff offscreen, RO getting dharma films like Brahmarastra even post massive flops like Bombay velvet and still consisted to be sth big is compared with Allu Arjun and Charan who never saw such massive disasters nor did they were miscast in their hit. And Charan had biggest movies like the ones with Rajamouli, it’s not Arvind or anyone else’s fault that he struggled a bit, they can’t spoon feed their kids and they don’t.

it’s like saying Rakesh Roshan saved Hrithik by making koi milgaya, whereas I will say koi mil Gaya worked only because it was the combination of Rakesh and Hrithik.

You should watch more of his films, his films are mostly masala entertainers with great songs

Yes, imagine being so talented and still being at discomfort in front of national Media, he’s one of the best actors in India, there are multiple movies of him where I cried like a baby, Dhanush deserves all the success and no Rajnikanth isn’t the reason behind his success, he’s an all rounder and extremely organized, the man has built his career with every piece being a step towards perfection. Be it songs, acting or direction, such a brilliant artist he’s.

Really? Wow I didn’t notice. I think I found him stiff in few scenes of Magadheera but that was his initial days and overall that movie is iconic so I don’t complain about it much. But yes I’m happy with his performance in RRR, also the writers deserve applause for writing such great characters for both Charan and NTR. I think Charan is good at certain type of roles, he can’t be too much into swag or style like Allu Arjun who is otherwise so effortless in that area, I can’t imagine Charan slaying in a character like Bantu or for example let’s say Rocky in KGF but he’s still a great performer. I’m glad both the cousins are all making noises and obviously they have inherited a part of it in their genes. I don’t like Chiranjeevi, he controlled Charan’s career and it didn’t work in Cherry’s favor, imagine that stupid movie Acharya where Cherry stared only because of his father, there wasn’t any need. Anyway, he inherited the fan base so sadly he has to do such things. My dream is to see Bunny and Cherry in the same movie together, this combo needs to happen sooner

Allu Arjun's Pan India vibe is embraced in wider Asia
