In the past, Bollywood actresses were hesitant to act in Telugu films. However, the situation has since changed, with Telugu cinema now receiving global recognition. As a result, many Pan India heroines are being cast in Tollywood films. Actresses such as Kiara Advani, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, and Deepika Padukone are all working in Telugu. In fact, Kiara Advani expressed her interest in Telugu films from the beginning of her career and has continued to act in them, even after becoming a Bollywood star.
Deepika Padukone, on the other hand, was specifically brought in for a project with Prabhas. Her role in Project K is expected to be a major attraction, and she was reportedly paid a significant amount for her performance. Similarly, Janhvi Kapoor has been cast as the lead actress in NTR's 30th movie. After Project K, Deepika was offered another Telugu film by a star hero in Big Production House.
She is expected to play the lead role in this upcoming Pan India movie. Deepika has stated that she has no objection to continuing to work in Telugu films as long as she is paid the remuneration she deserves.
Currently, a new movie featuring a star hero is set to begin production soon. The director has already chosen the hero, but has not yet revealed who it is and the heroine is expected to be Deepika. In this regard, Deepika Padukone is keen to continue doing films in Telugu. She has a large following in the Telugu-speaking regions and is thrilled to make her fans happy by working in these films. Recently, she starred in the hit film Pathan, which further cemented her success in Bollywood.
