Usually, showbiz is a man’s world. Women are indispensable, but they are mostly relegated to play glam dolls. But like in other fields, some women do get to play powerful roles either on screen or behind the screen. Well, one such lady who yields quite some influence and plays a key role in decision making in Tollywood is Vasantha.
She happens to be the daughter of late Allu Ramalingayya and sister of Surekha, who is megastar Chiranjeevi’s wife. Vasantha and her husband also produce some films frequently. So, if a mega hero has to do a film, apparently, the unspoken rule is that the director has to first narrate the story to her and if she approves of it, only then does the hero go ahead and give the nod.
Now, it is common for at least two to three people to hear the story before it reaches a star in any industry. So is the case with mega family. After a story is narrated to two to three key people, it goes to Vasantha for approval.
It is said that when Surender Reddy approached Bunny for Race Gurram, he had to narrate the story at least 10 times to Vasantha before it was okayed. If it is a Ram Charan’s film, then the director and writer have to get approval from Chiranjeevi, hero and Vasantha; if it is a Bunny film, then they have to get approvals from Allu Arvind, hero and Vasantha.
No wonder that films from the mega camp hardly fail. With so many heads coming together, they surely know how to spot a hit script by now. On a lighter note, after all the buzz about megastar, mega princes, etc, we finally get to know of the ‘mega queen’ who runs the show from behind.
