Earlier, we all know Kota Srinivasa Rao, who hails from coastal Andhra, yet excelled in the Telangana accent.
He lived in Hyderabad for a long time, and naturally observed the accent closely and learned it with utmost care.
Similarly, Jayaprakash Reddy, who hails from Guntur, excelled in the Rayalaseema accent, which brought him a great identity.
Even he mentioned in some earlier interviews that this came purely through keen observation. But those experiments were limited only to character actors and villains those days.
However, Telugu cinema has added new flavors to its identity and language after bifurcation.
In fact, the division into two states has resulted in the acceptance of different Telugu accents and slangs with equal respect and love. Even heroes are coming up with different accents of Telugu regions.
Now, coming to Tarun Bhasker and Eesha Rebba, who hail from the Telangana region, they have come up with a new trailer titled “Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi.”
The identity of Eesha Rebba’s character is not clearly understood from the trailer, as not much dialogue with a distinctive accent is heard.
However, Tarun Bhasker rocked and surprised everyone with his accent, which is commonly heard from the Godavari belt to Vizag.
It is yet to be known how long he struggled to learn this accent with such perfection.
Interestingly, his exposure to this accent began when he worked on a song for the movie “Mangalavaram,” directed by Ajay Bhupathi.
Industry sources say that he picked it up during that time and later refined it through observation.
