Till a couple of months ago, all leading Telugu production houses are ready to shell crores of rupees to get the dates of A-league Bollywood actresses.
With an eye on the Pan-Indian market, producers have roped in actresses like Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt for some of our high-profile productions.
Ananya Pandey is also debuting in Puri Jagannadh’s boxing drama. Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan were approached by another set of Telugu producers. But now, they are scared to think about Bollywood actresses post-drug scandal.
In connection with Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case, NCB officials summoned actresses Rakul Preet Singh, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, and Deepika Padukone.
Alia Bhatt was trolled heavily and her recent Bollywood release, Sadak 2, received record dislikes for the trailer.
Considering the risks involved, Tollywood producers have now dropped off their plans. They don’t want to rope in Bollywood actresses for another year or two.
