Deepika vs Priyanka: Tollywood’s Next Big Rivalry
Competition among heroines is nothing new in the film industry. It’s common for one actress to replace another or use behind-the-scenes tactics to secure roles. Such rivalry is especially evident among top actresses. In the coming years, a similar competitive dynamic is expected between Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, especially in the Telugu film industry.
Deepika made her Tollywood debut with Kalki, which turned out to be a massive hit and elevated her fame across the country. In fact, she gained more recognition through this Telugu film than through her recent Bollywood projects, both in India and internationally. Riding on this success, Deepika has now been signed opposite Icon Star Allu Arjun in his upcoming big-budget project. This film is expected to further solidify her pan-India stardom.
Meanwhile, Global Star Priyanka Chopra is set to make her Tollywood debut with SSMB 29, directed by the legendary Rajamouli. After considering several names, the makers finalized Priyanka, and her acceptance itself is a significant achievement. Despite being extremely busy with Hollywood projects and commanding paychecks in the hundreds of crores, Priyanka greenlit this Telugu venture. Bollywood has long tried to rope her in for major films, but her choice to work with Rajamouli has created massive buzz. The film is already touted as one of India’s most awaited projects.
Similarly, Allu Arjun’s film featuring Deepika is also gaining immense attention. If both these films turn into box office blockbusters, the craze surrounding Deepika and Priyanka in India will multiply. Subsequently, any new projects they sign will draw significant interest, particularly in Tollywood, where their rivalry could intensify.
A tug-of-war between the two for plum roles in Telugu cinema wouldn’t be surprising. Once this competition begins, it’s bound to have its share of consequences — and it might just escalate into a direct “who’s bigger?” showdown between these two powerhouse performers.
