Some may dissent with veteran Telugu director K Raghavendra Rao’s obsession of throwing flowers and fruits on his heroines’ midriff, but over the years, it has become a trademark in Telugu films, and many actresses who worked in his direction on separate occasions have complimented that no director can depict an actress’ beauty as graceful and aesthetically as he does. Curly beauty Taapsee Pannu, who made her cinematic debut with KRR’s ‘Jummandi Naadam’ (2010), has instead of showing gratitude to him and Tollywood, has made some derogatory remarks.
“I made my debut under this senior director who had the reputation of having midas touch in launching actresses. He launched the likes of Sridevi, Jayasudha etc a few decades ago. He is known to show the sensuality of an actress by showing her midriff and hitting it with fruits and flowers,” said Taapsee to a gathering who were having fun while she was busy mocking KRR.
“Somehow, I prepared myself to be hit with this director’s flowers and fruits after watching Sridevi and Jayaprada’s videos from his films. When my turn came, my midriff was hit by a coconut… I dont know what is so sensuous about hitting an actress’ midriff with coconut,” she mockingly said.
Taapsee went on to say that Southern film industry treated her as only a glam-doll and the audiences here were shocked to her acting prowess in Bollywood films – Pink and Naam Shabana.
Its a shame that an actress who was made famous by Tollywood, has made such scathing remarks after acting in a few decent Bollywood films. If not for the popularity and experience she had earned from Tollywood, would Bollywood have cared for her?
Her comments have understandably not gone well with Telugu movie lovers. When they started questioning her on twitter, she started blocking them all. We wonder how will she deal with Telugu media when she comes to Hyderabad to promote her upcoming Telugu film, ‘Anando Brahma’.
