The Tollywood industry is large and it is filled with a wide range of talented actors and skilled technicians. But then, the industry also has its set of drawbacks. For instance, one question which has been raging for many minds is why do the senior Telugu actors don’t make their presence felt in other cine circuits.

For instance, the likes of Prakash Raj, Mukesh Rishi, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sonu Sood, Sayaji Shinde and others have been working in different films across different regions. So, what's the issue with our Telugu talent like Kota Srinivasa Rao, Rao Ramesh, Tanikella Bharani and others.

The non-local actors mentioned above have absorbed themselves into Tollywood and audience got connected. But it comes as a surprise as to why our guys cannot shine in the same way in other regions. Of course, Kota has worked in Tamil and Hindi films but again, they are unable to do films continuously. The only answer one is getting is, there is enough work in Tollywood so they don’t have to go elsewhere.
