Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
Language is no barrier. I watch Telugu movies, and I really enjoy them.
I like Telugu movies, then comes Bollywood and then English movies. In Tollywood, I like Mahesh Babu and Prabhas. But no, I don't watch all their movies. I first find out if the movie is nice. If it's a flop, I don't watch it.
Luckily, neither in my Tamil nor in my Telugu movies do I have roles that require exaggerated emoting.
Every day I receive a lot of messages on Facebook from people of A.P. and Telangana, mostly about songs from my Telugu movies. From the messages, I get a lot of ideas about the music they like.
I love to play golf and watch movies in Tamil and Telugu whenever I get time.
Mollywood movies are narrated at their own pace, unlike Telugu movies, which ought to be crisp.
I am very grateful to Telugu movies, as they have been the main reason for my entry into Bollywood.
Sure, I have been a part of many Telugu movies, but I got those films because of my Hindi movies.
It's time for Telugu cinema to make its presence felt.
