Hyderabad: Tollywood industry is a place for hits and failure is not taken very well. So the very people who would run after an artiste or technician when they are hit, don’t care for them when they give a flop.Usually depending on the success curve of a person, he or she is sought after. If things go on well, then they are paid in lakhs and crores.

But if the success ratio goes down and films begin to flop, then they are avoided like plague. Well, so is the case with a once-upon-a-time hit director. There was a time when he had hits to his credit.

But now, he has two duds in his account and that has really affected his standing in the industry.

Apparently, some producers have given him advance in the past and he is said to be chasing them to make a film.

However, the producers are not keen on doing a film with him and they are avoiding him saying that it is tough to get a hero as all of them tight schedules.

Well, that’s what happens when flops happen in the industry and the director’s case is no different.

One mistake Andhra people did was to develop Hyderabad solely at the expense of the rest of the state. This made an out-of-work politician exploit the situation and realize his dream of becoming Chief Minister.One would have thought that following the trauma of partition, the Andhra leaders would not repeat our earlier mistake and develop the new Andhra in a proportional manner. But sadly, we seem to be mistaken in our assumptions!

The entire team of Chandrababu Naidu & Co seems to be obsessed solely with Amaravathi. Already, people from Rayalaseema and North Andhra are voicing their discontent on the location of the new capital and how they are being neglected yet again when it comes to development. Their arguments are not without merit.

As of now, the general perception is that Amaravathi would benefit only a particular community to which Chandrababu Naidu also belongs. It is indeed a bit of a surprise because Chandrababu also hails from Rayalaseema and one would expect him to give due consideration to Rayalaseema and North Andhra too.

But this is a classic case where the CM seems to be placing the interests of his own community over that of the region he hails from. The CM should realize that he has been elected by the whole of AP; as such, he should be bothered about the welfare of all citizens and regions of AP and not that of his own community alone.

It is indeed ironical that a demand for a separate Rayalaseema is slowly gaining momentum, especially when one considers the fact that the last two decades have seen a person from Rayalaseema in the CM’s chair.
