From a long time there is criticism that those heroes only with family background are ruling Telugu film industry. This is some sort of hypothetical statement because any hero would need a hit to continue in industry, while family support would be helping him to get his debut easily.
If we look at the current number of heroes from big film families, it’s Mega Family that scores the top. Following Chiru’s legacy, there are Pawan, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Sai Dharam, Varun Tej and Sirish continuing in the game. It makes the no. of Mega successors in industry to 6, the highest number of actors debuting from any other film family in almost near generation.
Like the celebrated Raj Kapoor family too didn’t have 6 actors at once during Rishi Kapoor and Sashi Kapoor era. Standing next to Mega family is Akkineni Khandan, with five heroes in the crease. Though Sumanth is not continuously active, he’s one along with Nagarjuna, Chaitanya, Sushanth and Akhil who followed ANR’s footsteps. As Supriya is not active at the moment, we couldn’t consider her, and that makes Akkineni’s score 5 not out.
And here goes Nandamuri family. Treading in legendary NTR’s path, Balakrishna, Jr NTR, Tarakaratna and Kalyanram, made their film debuts and continuing as heroes. They score 4 together and if Mokshagna enters, the score will be 5 soon. Manchu’s have scored 3, with two heroes and one heroine, including Vishnu, Manoj and Lakshmi followed Mohan Babu to industry. Daggubati family has two, Venky and Rana, in the game.
Among all these heroes, those with immense talent and peculiar style became star heroes, while others are continuing as minimum guarantee heroes. Some have neared the edge of retirement too, while few are yet to find ground. That’s all for now folks.
