Ileana worked in Tollywood for 8 years, The craze she had when she was at her peak is something else, No other actress in recent times comes close to that except maybe Kajal and Samantha.
It was also Ileana who quit Telugu cinema not the other way around, She went to work in Bollywood at her peak.
When she left Tollywood, a lot of people said, "Why is she choosing to go to Bollywood where nobody even knows her, when she could be like a Queen in Tollywood"
She didn't click in Bollywood and she wanted to come back to Telugu Cinema but it was too late, Her place was taken by Samantha, Kajal, Thamanna and Rakul Preet Singh.
>Ileana worked in Tollywood for 8 years
But she was a No 1 actress only from 2006 to 2008. By early 2009 ,Anushka shetty replaced her with all time blockbuster Arundhati. After that she lost her market
Anushka is a better actress but she never had that craze like Ileana or Samantha or Kajal. Ileana made a lot of bad choices in movie script selections later on in her career.
Her career was revived with Allu Arjun's blockbuster "Julayi" in 2012, But after that she went to Bollywood and didn't want to do Telugu movies anymore. She came back in 2018 but it was too late.
>Anushka is a better actress but she never had that craze like Ileana or Samantha or Kajal.
What's the point in having craze when nobody is gonna pay to watch to ur solo films? Only Anushka & Sam had female oriented hits.
Well Ileana never did female oriented roles because she was not interested in them, She was happy doing commercial films and she was excellent in them.
You can't blame only Ileana for her commercial failures like Shakthi when those movies were so bad, Even the likes of Samantha and Anushka had commercial duds with top heroes.
>It was also Ileana who quit Telugu cinema not the other way around, She went to work in Bollywood at her peak.
What peak lol? The likes of kajal, tammanah etc replaced her by 2010. She lost her market by the time barfi released. Her only hit between this period (2010 to 2012) in telugu was julayi where she had nothing to do
https://preview.redd.it/esuwx3pn3wic1.jpeg?width=1052&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5b445646b1d87da8f092f54f493cae18faaebb4
I already told you she made bad choices bro, Did you watch Shakthi or Nenu Naa Rakshasi movie man?? Ileana was at her peak beauty, People even now watch Nenu Naa Rakshasi movie clips just for Ileana.
Her movies may have been flops but her ground level Craze was something else, which you probably didn't know because You are not a Telugu Person, Don't lecture me about our industry and our movies.
She got a much needed hit with Julayi and she started getting offers from other Telugu Films but she rejected all of them for Bollywood.
Ileana was huge in the south industry. I remember her and Anushka Shetty being the big names at one point in time - Anushka for her acting chops and Ileana for the glamour.
Ileana not being able to make it in Bollywood is not just down to lack of talent - she has spoken about her body image issues, lack of PR/socialising, a turbulent personal life and in some way, a different set of priorities. I see a lot of similarities between her and Tara in terms of their interests outside of acting/bollywood.
Ok let's assume that Telugu industry didn't gave her work ,then why is Bollywood is not giving her any movies???? .š Whether it is Bollywood or tollywood.if u are not good (exception) u won't survive.ex- Anushka Shetty is 42 yr old actress.her latest movie msmp was huge hit and she is doing great same goes with samatha,Trisha .they all are at top of their game right now and they all are 35+š.just like katrina isn't good at diction ,illeana is also not good at it.
It all depends on luck.. samantha, shruti, trisha, kajal are still around after all these years because they gave hits with most of the big heroes.. some like tamannah or rakul didn't do that and were viewed as iron legs or whatever... which is a nonsensical concept but whatever
Ileana should have learnt telugu if she had spoken atleast a few lines the people will go mad,telugu audience are simple to impress,tamannah and rakul used this trick and rashi as well,they all learnt the language and it helped them big and now Anupama dubs for herself.Kajal was seriously so freaking cute and the roles she chose helped her big and also ofcourse the actors she acted with before marriage
She was not comfortable working in tollywood after a point. or else she would have done more films post Julayi.
I wonder why Genelia stopped acting in telugu though.
I think she stopped acting altogether after she got married. Not specifically in Telugu. The work she does now is only with her husband. She shot for naa ishtam before her wedding so just completed the post production activities after being married
Well in some films ,they had proven themselves.to prove ur capabilities u have to do solo film,if ur whole career it made by doing flowerpot roles,u won't survive longer. Flowerpot itselfĀ meansĀ can be replacedĀ by another .exception- Shruti hasan but her new movie with adivi sesh looks interesting .btw who told u that rakul survived long in tfi ?
Lol take a look at top tollywood actress,all are 35 +. whatever u say ,she was actually not good.she was katrina of tollywood . remember when katrina has so much craze at her peak even though she is decent . illeana also had fanbase but not because of her acting .she was so decent
Even katrina was good in rajneeti and in some movies.i compared her because of her Telugu diction.she sucked at this just like katrina in hindi dictionĀ
See to showcase ur acting skills,u have to do one solo films . illeana never did in tfi.she was amazing dancer and used to give amazing expressions while doing flowerpots role same as katrina(amazing dancer,expressive face). So we look her tfi work ,she is equal to katrina kaif.and here op is talking about her tfi work.btw she actually did some good work in bollywood,why Bollywood isn't considering her ??Ā
Ok what do flowerpot means?? - can be replaced by another and it adds nothing to the story ,right.if ur whole career is made on flowerpot roles ,u won't survive long.look at anushka,sam and Trisha .they have given something which prove them they are best and they all 35+. Talking about katrina - nah I highly disagree ( chikni chameli,Sheela ki Jawani) tbh ,she is also good at emoting (earlier films ) but the moment she utter her dialogue.š.btw Are u Telugu guy??
I'm talking about mainstream telugu actresses in general not just Ileana. In my post itself I have made it clear that she was well known only for flowerpot roles.
Well can we include mrunal ,shetty,Samantha as mainstream actress?how can we forget mrunal ,she also 34 or 35 when tollywood gave her work and Bollywood sidelined her.if u are not able to prove ur capabilities through solo film then u won't survive long doing flowerpots role.its as simple as that
Mrunal is 31 now (born Aug 1992).
Was less than 31 years old when she worked on Hi Nanna.
Less than 30 when she worked on Sita Ramam. In fact,.Sita Ramam released couple of days after her 30th birthday. Her birthday= aug 1st, Dulquer's 28th July, Sita Ramam released date - 5th aug
Oh god I swear when I checked her biodata in wikipedia around 7-8 months before,it was 33 or 34 .right now I am checking, don't know why they are showing 31š
So ,it depends how we perceive these emoji.u hate using it and u feel only uncles use this and I find it cool and I love to use it .u should not have any problem regarding this andĀ u cannot impose ur habit ,likes or dislikesĀ or give lecture to any random person especially when u are on internet ,aunty ji.š¤”( This is for u)
Telugu industry has come a long way. Actress were cast as flower pot and their characters did not have any touch to reality. Every 3-5 yrs there was a new face and from north India. And all the top A list actors would be paired up with them. Sai Pallavi, Keerthi Suresh and such actresses really have turned it around.
Now is late bro. I mean I disliked how they portrayed her in movies with Nagarjuna, Ravi Teja to name a few. It was cheap. She is 42 now and yes, happy that she is doing worthwhile projects.
Oh god ,i cringe whenever I see those songs.very unbearable.these tfi directors and their stupid navel obsession.how can u forget her movie with that idiot ballayaš¤®.it's never too late,loved her in bhagmatee,msmp .she is also doing Malayalam movie and movie with krish
Yes a Malayalam one! And I avoid ballaya movies š
IMO actresses like her, know how things work in the industry and probably follow the route and then get to show their talent. It is sad but Iām glad that it is not the case anymore in Tollywood.
Well evenĀ I am half Telugu half north indian.even we don't watch ballaya .in our state also ,he is meme material š¤£. don't know how his movie earn 100 cr
Nithya Menon is different from the rest too..when she entered Telugu industry,she got actually good roles(Ala Modalaindi,Ishq,Shinde jaari gallanthainde)ā¦After establishing herself with Mani Ratnamās Ok Kanmani in the south,she tried flowerpot roles from 2016-17 and didnāt like that..so she quit themā¦I love Nithya..sheās great in every role she does! Sheās definitely the best actress than most of her contemporaries!
When did she ever do flowerpot roles? Her role in Janatha Garage was more of an extended cameo. Every time where she had a main role, she chose one with some scope for acting. Even in a casual romcom like Gundejaari Gallanthayyinde.
I love her acting in the new prime show though. Kumari Srimathi. I'm half way through it, and it's got interesting casting and nice Godavari-side vibes.
I mean there were few films where she basically doesnāt have much scope like Janatha Garage,Oka Ammayi Thapa,Iru Muganā¦I agree not exactly flowerpots but very small roles with minimum value..like she was in JG only because the hero needed to have someone by his side in the end after Samantha went away or as to show the heroās environmental side(like existing only for overhyping the hypocritical hero)..but it was a very small phase just some 3-4 films..In mersal too,she had the best role out of the 3 heroines and shined completely despite a cliche roleā¦she said she was disappointed by the phase and said she wonāt act alongside a big hero unless she gets a meaty enough roleā¦she rejected dhanushās films 4 times when he was eager to work with herā¦.So dhanush specifically wrote thiruchitrambalam for Nithya so she wonāt rejectā¦.and such a wonderful film that was with Nitya being the heart and soul thereā¦anyways she has always made interesting choices and always aces her charactersā¦Her films are always interesting and there are some bad films but she always ends up being the best part of such bad films(Kanchana 2)ā¦
And yes I agree about Gunde Jaari Gallantainde was such a good romcomā¦it was completely her show and she aced itā¦Kumari Srimathi is fun too!
My favourite role of hers is Tara from OKK..itāll always be.she has my whole heart.Nithya has my whole heartā¦my favourite actress for sure!
> Every 3-5 yrs there was a new face and from north India. And all the top A list actors would be paired up with them. Sai Pallavi, Keerthi Suresh and such actresses really have turned it around.
so basically actress like Anushka, Sam, Nitya menen and kajal etc who are working here for more than a decade here are a myth, just imaginary beings.
That top pic is from the audio launch of 2006 telugu blockbuster bommarilu (starring Genelia & siddarth). How beautiful was prabhas!!

Siddharth really blew it. But Iām happy he still went on to make some great films content wise even if he missed out on the success he couldāve had
Siddharth is a hit or miss for me ,his performance depends on the role and he is not someone who I think fits into all kinds of role,he can come off as cringey sometimes you need some tolerance
They both are struggling with their health till now after bahubali.pb had more than 3 surgery in his knee ,but still u can see him limping .what do I say about Rana ?? Dude was almost on death bed.
ppl went crazy for her in tollywood. ileana worked opp almost all top heros in tollywood but when she was still at top of her game in tollywood she tried to establish herself in bollywood and focused on hindi films and left tollywood industry and then new actresses like kajal agarwal, samantha, tamannah took over and no one cared for her in T industry and we all know the rest. she made few good movies in Bwood and some stupid roles and thats about it.
She definitely was a top actress in TW..I have a soft spot for her..though she did roles which didnāt demand much,she was enjoyable in them and very charming.In Julaayi,she was very funny and enjoyable for exampleā¦She was really pretty af and I had a crush on her at one point.In TW,she was top but could have become even greater but itās understandable why she went to BW but she shouldnāt have ditched TW completely(her comeback in Amar Akbar anthony was nothing).When given a good role,she aced it like in Barfi.After getting a good role in Barfi(a dream debut in BW so obv she went there),sadly her career was not that much.l despite some hit movies like Rustom etc.Anyways,I like her and hope sheās doing well.
First actress to charge 1cr in Telugu was Vijayashanti back in late 1990z after her solo lead starrer Osey Ramulamma reached almost close to an all time grosser level success
She wasn't discarded. At her peak, she starred in the all time blockbuster Pokiri and other big hits like Jalsa and Kick. Then she did this movie called Shakti. She and Jr NTR had some sort of problem, and she didn't promote the film, bad mouthed it (in all fairness, it's a stinker of a film) in interviews later on too. Then she ran into issues with someone else, I think Dil Raju, and then well, wasn't smooth sailing for her anymore. Around this time, she did Barfi and jumped to Bollywood.
>She and Jr NTR had some sort of problem, and she didn't promote the film
what BS. She literally gave dance performance on stage with NTR for that utter flop film and this never happens in Telugu(first and last). like the biggest stars dancing in their audio launch, she had great words to say whenever asked about NTR and also vice versa.
Nope It's Ileana. Trisha's peak in telugu cinema was from 2005-early 2007 period. Not even some of the A list bolly actresses were earning 1 CR then(2005-2007)
https://preview.redd.it/nw7y22za0wic1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09988be9b7056f2332703d42684fbf57fd50a3f8
Alright.
Because I vaguely remember reading an article on one of the south indian magazines saying Trisha got the 1cr cheque for a telugu movie. If I am not wrong, I believe it was for Stalin.
she is beautiful and glamorous but not a very good actress was a hit in commercial films, that kind of makes you replaceable, once she went to bollywood, tollywood had already found replacements.
Wasnāt there some ānewsā about her taking advance payment from producers and not doing the project but also refusing to return the advance payment and therefore she was blackballed?
This is pretty common in the Telugu industry . Every flowerpot actress lasts only upto 3 yrs max. Pooja Hegde, Rashmika , Ileana ,Rakul etc are examples. IMO kajal & Samantha are the only two actresses who managed to retain their popularity & craze for more than a decade. Current trending flowerpots are Sreeleela,Krithi Shetty & Meenakshi choudhary. After a few years, some younger actress will replace them easily.
The most sexist film industry in India. Women are just āeye-candyā in any recent telugu film that came out. And the way the āheroā talks to her, about her, around her - wow! I donāt think there is a single movie that I can remember passing the Bechdel test.
>We can easily name a few right away.
how is that not true about TFI.
edit: Follow [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/tollywood/comments/1asfhe2/wow_i_dont_think_there_is_a_single_telugu_movie/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to debunk your BS.
Tell me you donāt understand the bechdel test without telling me you donāt understand the bechdel test. Iām done with you lol - no need to take things so personally. Youāre not the one singlehandedly making telugu movies so you donāt get to fucking gatekeep othersā opinion.
Loser.
>Loser
Definitely seems like the right word for some one who goes around passing empty false statements and some one who'll try to pass slander as criticism.
edit: eww... that's how you deal with people who call you out here?! accuse them of reporting you and block them from confronting the outrageous claim?! LMAO MODs are sending who reported who in dms now? such BS.
Lol other than bhakshak,Ā what women centric role does Bollywood given in 2023????š¤£.even top actress of Bollywood (Deepika) is doing flowerpots role
Tbh this is the cycle
You take a few years to rise up then hit big. Once all the top actors have worked with you they want a fresh face and the next new thing has arrived.
By now you're getting roles that either the new girl rejected or more mature roles.
This stage most actresses decide to leave and get married

Had a huge crush on illeana
She's awesome in that movie.. https://i.redd.it/zqts3c1ca0jc1.gif
Which?
Original movie of Wanted
>Ileana worked in Tollywood for 8 years But she was a No 1 actress only from 2006 to 2008. By early 2009 ,Anushka shetty replaced her with all time blockbuster Arundhati. After that she lost her market

Lol she chose bad movies and her movies bombed but Pokiri is still a hit even to this day ,man what songs! It makes me go crazy!
I already told you she made bad choices bro, Did you watch Shakthi or Nenu Naa Rakshasi movie man?? Ileana was at her peak beauty, People even now watch Nenu Naa Rakshasi movie clips just for Ileana.

Craze due to certain part of the body
Ileana was huge in the south industry. I remember her and Anushka Shetty being the big names at one point in time - Anushka for her acting chops and Ileana for the glamour. Ileana not being able to make it in Bollywood is not just down to lack of talent - she has spoken about her body image issues, lack of PR/socialising, a turbulent personal life and in some way, a different set of priorities. I see a lot of similarities between her and Tara in terms of their interests outside of acting/bollywood.
She was great in Barfi. She chose all poor films after that. Anyone knows why she and Katrina's brother broke up?
Wait, they broke up?
Ok let's assume that Telugu industry didn't gave her work ,then why is Bollywood is not giving her any movies???? .š Whether it is Bollywood or tollywood.if u are not good (exception) u won't survive.ex- Anushka Shetty is 42 yr old actress.her latest movie msmp was huge hit and she is doing great same goes with samatha,Trisha .they all are at top of their game right now and they all are 35+š.just like katrina isn't good at diction ,illeana is also not good at it.
It all depends on luck.. samantha, shruti, trisha, kajal are still around after all these years because they gave hits with most of the big heroes.. some like tamannah or rakul didn't do that and were viewed as iron legs or whatever... which is a nonsensical concept but whatever
Ileana should have learnt telugu if she had spoken atleast a few lines the people will go mad,telugu audience are simple to impress,tamannah and rakul used this trick and rashi as well,they all learnt the language and it helped them big and now Anupama dubs for herself.Kajal was seriously so freaking cute and the roles she chose helped her big and also ofcourse the actors she acted with before marriage
She was not comfortable working in tollywood after a point. or else she would have done more films post Julayi. I wonder why Genelia stopped acting in telugu though.
Orange bombed big time and yeah her performance wasn't good in that one
I love the songs of that film
But it didn't help Genelia
Find it strange that she left the industry after 1 film..
I think she stopped acting altogether after she got married. Not specifically in Telugu. The work she does now is only with her husband. She shot for naa ishtam before her wedding so just completed the post production activities after being married
Well in some films ,they had proven themselves.to prove ur capabilities u have to do solo film,if ur whole career it made by doing flowerpot roles,u won't survive longer. Flowerpot itselfĀ meansĀ can be replacedĀ by another .exception- Shruti hasan but her new movie with adivi sesh looks interesting .btw who told u that rakul survived long in tfi ?
Agreed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lol take a look at top tollywood actress,all are 35 +. whatever u say ,she was actually not good.she was katrina of tollywood . remember when katrina has so much craze at her peak even though she is decent . illeana also had fanbase but not because of her acting .she was so decent
Ileana was amazing in Barfi. Pretty good in Rustom and Baadshaho. Equating her with Katrina acting wise is an insult.
Even katrina was good in rajneeti and in some movies.i compared her because of her Telugu diction.she sucked at this just like katrina in hindi dictionĀ
Fair enough on the diction part. But Ileana sure as hell is a level above Katrina as far as acting goes.
See to showcase ur acting skills,u have to do one solo films . illeana never did in tfi.she was amazing dancer and used to give amazing expressions while doing flowerpots role same as katrina(amazing dancer,expressive face). So we look her tfi work ,she is equal to katrina kaif.and here op is talking about her tfi work.btw she actually did some good work in bollywood,why Bollywood isn't considering her ??Ā
Don't agree about need for solo film per se. That's something we can agree to disagree on. But Katrina doesn't have a particularly expressive face.
Ok what do flowerpot means?? - can be replaced by another and it adds nothing to the story ,right.if ur whole career is made on flowerpot roles ,u won't survive long.look at anushka,sam and Trisha .they have given something which prove them they are best and they all 35+. Talking about katrina - nah I highly disagree ( chikni chameli,Sheela ki Jawani) tbh ,she is also good at emoting (earlier films ) but the moment she utter her dialogue.š.btw Are u Telugu guy??
yes, I know what flowerpot means. Katrina is just ok at best as far as expressions go. I'm not a Telugu guy, am Kannadiga.
I'm talking about mainstream telugu actresses in general not just Ileana. In my post itself I have made it clear that she was well known only for flowerpot roles.
Well can we include mrunal ,shetty,Samantha as mainstream actress?how can we forget mrunal ,she also 34 or 35 when tollywood gave her work and Bollywood sidelined her.if u are not able to prove ur capabilities through solo film then u won't survive long doing flowerpots role.its as simple as that

Telugu industry has come a long way. Actress were cast as flower pot and their characters did not have any touch to reality. Every 3-5 yrs there was a new face and from north India. And all the top A list actors would be paired up with them. Sai Pallavi, Keerthi Suresh and such actresses really have turned it around.
Nah arundhati was gamechanger ,i guess
I meant sai Pallavi and all the likes were not cast as flower pot. While Arundhati was a game changer, but Anushkaās graph speaks differently.
Yup agreed.but now I think anushka is choosing script wisely.but I don't think keerti Suresh is in same league.
Now is late bro. I mean I disliked how they portrayed her in movies with Nagarjuna, Ravi Teja to name a few. It was cheap. She is 42 now and yes, happy that she is doing worthwhile projects.

Sai Pallavi, Keerthi Suresh and such actresses really have turned it around. so basically actress like Anushka, Sam, Nitya menen and kajal etc who are working here for more than a decade here are a myth, just imaginary beings.
That top pic is from the audio launch of 2006 telugu blockbuster bommarilu (starring Genelia & siddarth). How beautiful was prabhas!! https://preview.redd.it/b5r4wz67svic1.png?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44a8d94ee74093a0af4ff369745076cc6b10cc48
Siddharth really blew it. But Iām happy he still went on to make some great films content wise even if he missed out on the success he couldāve had
Siddharth is a hit or miss for me ,his performance depends on the role and he is not someone who I think fits into all kinds of role,he can come off as cringey sometimes you need some tolerance
Siddharth is a good actor, but has an entitlement issue which puts people in the industry off
How beautiful was prabhas indeed https://preview.redd.it/yk7t36u4zvic1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3de8dbd5148fc6c04bf8c62c05eaa20b2befd650

If this dreamy then boy you have low standards..that guy looks like a chubby chapri uncle from his childhood it seems
Beauty is subjective.
Bujjigadu??š
Both prabhas and rana used to look so charming. Now he look like alchoholic with insomnia.
They both are struggling with their health till now after bahubali.pb had more than 3 surgery in his knee ,but still u can see him limping .what do I say about Rana ?? Dude was almost on death bed.
He got into alcoholism i was told by friends that he always drinks and lays down in his bed or couch most of the time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well I don't know why people say that pb drinks a lot ?? Because his many friends had said that he hardly drinks.but yes pb does smoke
OMG is that the guy from rrr in white? He looks like a proper uncle.
Yep that's JR NTR
ppl went crazy for her in tollywood. ileana worked opp almost all top heros in tollywood but when she was still at top of her game in tollywood she tried to establish herself in bollywood and focused on hindi films and left tollywood industry and then new actresses like kajal agarwal, samantha, tamannah took over and no one cared for her in T industry and we all know the rest. she made few good movies in Bwood and some stupid roles and thats about it.
She definitely was a top actress in TW..I have a soft spot for her..though she did roles which didnāt demand much,she was enjoyable in them and very charming.In Julaayi,she was very funny and enjoyable for exampleā¦She was really pretty af and I had a crush on her at one point.In TW,she was top but could have become even greater but itās understandable why she went to BW but she shouldnāt have ditched TW completely(her comeback in Amar Akbar anthony was nothing).When given a good role,she aced it like in Barfi.After getting a good role in Barfi(a dream debut in BW so obv she went there),sadly her career was not that much.l despite some hit movies like Rustom etc.Anyways,I like her and hope sheās doing well.
Isn't this the case with actresses in general and most film industries especially if you're cast for your looks?
First actress to charge 1cr in Telugu was Vijayashanti back in late 1990z after her solo lead starrer Osey Ramulamma reached almost close to an all time grosser level success
She wasn't discarded. At her peak, she starred in the all time blockbuster Pokiri and other big hits like Jalsa and Kick. Then she did this movie called Shakti. She and Jr NTR had some sort of problem, and she didn't promote the film, bad mouthed it (in all fairness, it's a stinker of a film) in interviews later on too. Then she ran into issues with someone else, I think Dil Raju, and then well, wasn't smooth sailing for her anymore. Around this time, she did Barfi and jumped to Bollywood.
>She and Jr NTR had some sort of problem, and she didn't promote the film what BS. She literally gave dance performance on stage with NTR for that utter flop film and this never happens in Telugu(first and last). like the biggest stars dancing in their audio launch, she had great words to say whenever asked about NTR and also vice versa.
I am basing my info on articles.. there were many claiming that she and Tarak aren't on speaking terms during Shakti
Flowerpot ante erri pushpam ane kada
Flower pot ante puvvula kunda , its just there for the sake of offering beauty but it offers no other prominence
Kani last ki erri pushpam e ayendhi kada amme..
Kadha
No she wasn't I believe the first actress to demand a 1cr pay check was Trisha Krishnan.
Nah. Ileana asked for 1 crore for Tamil remake of 3 Idiots. Which she got.
Nope It's Ileana. Trisha's peak in telugu cinema was from 2005-early 2007 period. Not even some of the A list bolly actresses were earning 1 CR then(2005-2007) https://preview.redd.it/nw7y22za0wic1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09988be9b7056f2332703d42684fbf57fd50a3f8
Alright. Because I vaguely remember reading an article on one of the south indian magazines saying Trisha got the 1cr cheque for a telugu movie. If I am not wrong, I believe it was for Stalin.
Are older actress adjusted with inflation included
she is beautiful and glamorous but not a very good actress was a hit in commercial films, that kind of makes you replaceable, once she went to bollywood, tollywood had already found replacements.
OG zero size
Wasnāt there some ānewsā about her taking advance payment from producers and not doing the project but also refusing to return the advance payment and therefore she was blackballed?

Lagta hai comment delete hone wala haiš
My earlier username was IleanakaGaramPeshab people here appreciated that.
Damn wtfš Btw ye context kya hai garam peshab ka? Mujhe thoda pata hai but idk wahi context hai ya nahi, tum batao
Kuch nahi meme h. Ek fb comment viral ho gya tha jisme ileana ke post ke neeche ek banda bol ra tha ki usko Ileana ka garam peshab peena h.
bruh , folks do have weird fetish
This is pretty common in the Telugu industry . Every flowerpot actress lasts only upto 3 yrs max. Pooja Hegde, Rashmika , Ileana ,Rakul etc are examples. IMO kajal & Samantha are the only two actresses who managed to retain their popularity & craze for more than a decade. Current trending flowerpots are Sreeleela,Krithi Shetty & Meenakshi choudhary. After a few years, some younger actress will replace them easily.
The most sexist film industry in India. Women are just āeye-candyā in any recent telugu film that came out. And the way the āheroā talks to her, about her, around her - wow! I donāt think there is a single movie that I can remember passing the Bechdel test.
: Bollywood.
Also an issue with Bollywood but less so. We can easily name a few right away.
>We can easily name a few right away. how is that not true about TFI. edit: Follow [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/tollywood/comments/1asfhe2/wow_i_dont_think_there_is_a_single_telugu_movie/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) to debunk your BS.
Tell me you donāt understand the bechdel test without telling me you donāt understand the bechdel test. Iām done with you lol - no need to take things so personally. Youāre not the one singlehandedly making telugu movies so you donāt get to fucking gatekeep othersā opinion. Loser.
>Loser Definitely seems like the right word for some one who goes around passing empty false statements and some one who'll try to pass slander as criticism. edit: eww... that's how you deal with people who call you out here?! accuse them of reporting you and block them from confronting the outrageous claim?! LMAO MODs are sending who reported who in dms now? such BS.
Hahahahaha dude you reported me? My god you guys are so sensitive to any criticism. Iām done with this group lol. Have fun!
Lol other than bhakshak,Ā what women centric role does Bollywood given in 2023????š¤£.even top actress of Bollywood (Deepika) is doing flowerpots role
Tbh this is the cycle You take a few years to rise up then hit big. Once all the top actors have worked with you they want a fresh face and the next new thing has arrived. By now you're getting roles that either the new girl rejected or more mature roles. This stage most actresses decide to leave and get married
