For over two decades until the mid 2000s, Tollywood had been synonymous with the kind of films that its top four actors had been making. Megastar Chiranjeevi, Nandmauri Balakrishna, Akkineni Nagarjuna and Venkatesh Daggubati were the four pillars of the industry. While megastar Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna went on to act in a string of mass commercial movies, the latter two dabbled with family dramas, comedies and even devotional films, with an occasional action film thrown in between. Here is the list of Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Akkineni Nagarjuna and Venkatesh’ million dollar movies in the USA.
Venkatesh: SVSC, F2, F3
Chiranjeevi : Khiladi No 150 and Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy
Balakrishna: Gauthamiputra Satakarni and Akhanda
Nagarjuna : Manam and Oopiri
Tollywood Industry is fastly rising on top with its mega blockbuster releases like Pushpa, RRR and many more. The South actors have become popular names across the globe. For many, it might come as a surprise that their movies are getting major screenings in other countries as compared to Bollywood or even some of the Hollywood movies. The Telugu heroes carry such macho looks that people fall in love with their movies just by their personalities. The powerful punches, heavy dialog delivery, and strong storyline are some of the traits that make any movie successful.
