For a heroine, glamour is important. Acting skills are also necessary. But even if both are present, opportunities may come; success may not. For that, luck has to support you.
Many heroines entering Tollywood at full speed these days are missing this luck factor.
Krithi Shetty made her debut with Uppena. It was a blockbuster. Many big offers followed. But after that, not a single hit. As a result, she now has almost no films in hand.
Sreeleela entered with Pelli SandaD, a big hit. After that, she signed films left and right — from Vaishnav Tej to Mahesh Babu. But her hit percentage is extremely low, with more failures than successes.
Still, Sreeleela’s advantage is that she managed to do many films in a very short time despite no big hits. Now even she has very few offers. She is trying her luck in Bollywood and Kollywood.
Bhagyashri Borse made her debut with Bachchan. She has good height, beauty, and good acting skills. But after Bachchan turned into a disaster, Kingdom was also flop, and Kaantha also seems headed towards a flop. That makes three back-to-back failures.
Now she is left with Andhra King Taluka, which is releasing this month. Bhagyashri Borse desperately needs this film to become a hit. Even Ram, who is also going through flops, needs this success.
If Andhra King Taluka becomes a hit, Bhagyashri Borse’s career will move forward, and importantly, she will avoid Tollywood’s “sentiment” tag. Otherwise, she risks being labelled as “unlucky” — something the industry is quick to stamp.
