Stars of Tollywood enjoy huge craze in Karnataka. Our films get released on a large scale and our producers get good money from the Kannada region. But there are only a few Sandalwood heroes who have a decent market in the Telugu states. Most of the Kannada heroes never tried to release their films in multiple languages till date. Upendra used to have a huge craze in Telugu but it faded away.
Lately, Sudeep enjoys good craze in the Telugu states thanks to his stunning performance in ‘Eega’. He even played a supporting role in ‘Sye Raa’ and did a guest role in ‘Baahubali’. Due to this, the Tollywood audience encourage Sudeep and his movies to a certain extent. Post ‘KGF’, Yash also secured a mass image in Telugu. It seems like another star hero is trying to gain some market in Telugu.
