Age waits for no one and no matter how big a star is, he will have to give in to age. The most successful actors are those who can reinvent themselves once they begin ageing. This is one area where the Hollywood stars are way ahead of our local Tollywood stars.
Instead of worrying about their age and looks, they simply chose and pick stories that suit their age and stardom.
For example, think Indiana Jones series by Harrison Ford. So, while it is not too late for stars to play commercial, mass roles, it needs them to work around projecting themselves.
Coming back to Tollywood, megastar Chiranjeevi is now keen on making his 150th film a reality. Though he has had many sittings with various directors, nothing has materialized as yet.
Talk in Film Nagar is that he has almost finalized VV Vinayak to make the film. Apparently, the megastar and Vinayak have come to an understanding regarding the story and what elements they want in the film.
In the past, Chiranjeevi expressed his wish to work with south’s maverick director Shankar, who made Robot with Rajinikanth and Aparichitudu with Vikram.
But Shankar was not too keen on making a film with our ageing megastar. So, the offer is about to land with Vinayak finally.
But according to gossip in Film Nagar, the megastar is still on a lookout for a story that will make the film a landmark film in the history of Telugu cinema.
Of course, there are others who wonder if megastar can recreate the magic at his age. In fact, the same doubt is on the minds of his fans, it is being said.
