When I hear the phrase “Hyderabadi actors,” all that springs to me is Tollywood. Yes, the Telugu Movie Industry, which is based in Hyderabad, is similar to the Bollywood Film Industry, which is based in Mumbai. Tollywood appears to have risen to become one of the world’s major film industries in recent years, producing more hits than any other industry.
From Arjun Reddy, whose modern-day Hindi adaptation of ‘Kabir Singh’ is making the rounds in people’s hearts, to BahuBalli, which has gained worldwide fame, Tollywood has a long history of producing blockbuster films.
Not just in Tollywood, but also in other industries, Hyderbadi performers have proven their aptitude and abilities. They have made Hyderabad proud by becoming successful names in Bollywood.
In the case of Telugu cinema, Hyderabad will continue to be the centre of production for some of the country’s most successful and memorable movies.
