Telugu film lovers are used to the references of Star heroes in small films. But, probably for the first time, the reference of a star couple has been used throughout a film.
In Sukumar’s production venture ‘Darshakudu’, which hit screens yesterday, the names of hero and heroine’s characters are Mahesh and Namrata. This tactic not just impresses the fans of Mahesh but also forms a lovely impression on audiences from the very beginning of the film since Mahesh and Namrata are a star as well as an ideal couple in Tollywood. Audiences automatically start rooting for the lead actors to unite notwithstanding the obstacles.
In the recent times, filmmakers are coming up innovative ways to use references of not just stars but their wives, fiancees, surnames, other actors in family etc.
If one remembers, in Naga Chaitanya’s ‘Premam’, Chaitu’s character says that the name of the girl he will marry starts with ‘S’ letter. Samantha’s name wasn’t used directly but that small hint was enough to overwhelm audiences. In another scene, Chaitu refuses to rag a junior just because his name was ‘Akhil’.
Most recently, director Sampath Nandi used the Surname of Mahesh Babu, ‘Ghattamaneni’ for his film’s protagonist.
Expect filmmakers to invent many more ways to use stars’ references.
