If we see history all great South Indian actors not that successful in Hindi due to accent. For Sai positive is he can speak 3 major southern languages Tamil Telgu Mallayam as well Hindi and Marathi
He brought up in Lonavala so naturally knows Marathi well. This is definitely his advantage
There are many good handsome south Indian actors but not successful in hindi he is different.
I am great fan of Dubbed movies Vikram what a range of roles he has done but still regional movies , Allu Arjun , Mahesh Babu , Vijay, Rajnikant, Chiranjivee, Ramcharan- what a performer he is, Nikhil, Mohanlal , Mamutti all are great and what a variety of roles they perform
From this perspective Sai is bridge between Bollywood and Toollywood and has a lot of scope
I definitely wish to see him in movies
MHRW for me is movie experience
One of the scene where he gives evacuation notice the way he stand opposite Pallu one leg on shop shutter it was killing movie scene
We must also know TRP aunties are oldies now who were watching Ssas bahu drama 20 years back and with ott and lot of Online content and personal entertainment channels guess ITV has to change.
They need to bring freah and fast moving stories for millennial. In that sense even Sai, Shivangi, as well as most of the cast is <30 so they are millennial too
