Sandalwood Spitting On Tollywood

Becoming a role model is one thing and becoming an example for a lesson is another thing. Right now, the state of Tollywood seems to be in the latter category. Well, the Telugu film industry which boasts of being the second largest after Bollywood and the number one to come up with maximum films has now become a laughing stock for other cine circuits.

Recently, few articles have begun to make rounds in the Kannada media houses. The Sandalwood folks are spitting on Tollywood for the quality of films being generated despite overflowing budgets and best infrastructure. Examples of movies like ‘Varudu’ ‘Komaram Puli’ ‘Shakti’ ‘Khaleja’ were taken to support their talk.

Now, the buzz is that seniors in Sandalwood are asking all their film fraternity members to have a look at Tollywood and learn a good lesson. One of the noted producers of Kannada cinema reportedly said “There is only quantity and no quality in Telugu cinema. It is all show and decoration on outside but everything is hollow inside.”

It is time Tollywood makes amends…
