produced countless iconic stars who dominate the box office and hold a special place in the hearts of the audience. However, this very culture has shaped a trend where senior Telugu stars often lean towards safe, commercially oriented roles, focusing more on larger-than-life action and entertainment rather than exploring challenging characters that test their acting range.
In contrast, the recent performance of Dhanush as a beggar in Kubera stands out as a bold example. From the raw depiction of a man living on the fringes of society — including moments of him sitting beside a dumpster — Dhanush completely embodied the character and delivered an unforgettable performance. It’s hard to imagine many Telugu superstars accepting such a role, precisely because their focus has long been on high-octane action sequences, punch dialogues, and crowd-pleasing moments.
This difference in approach highlights the varying dynamics between Telugu and Tamil cinema. Tamil actors often seek to balance their stardom by selecting raw, challenging roles that test their abilities and redefine their range. Meanwhile, Telugu stars, with a few exceptions, have generally embraced a safer, more commercial route, focusing less on experimentation and more on traditional blockbuster formulas.
While this approach guarantees box office returns, it also leaves a gap when it comes to pushing boundaries and exploring the deeper craft of acting. It raises an important question for the future — will Telugu superstars step out of their comfort zone to take on more experimental roles, or continue to favor the tried-and-tested path of mainstream commercial cinema?
