There has been a big gap between Telugu and Hindi films for years, and except for a few movies, Telugu star heroes have not shown much interest in Bollywood movies. Ram Charan with Zanjeer, Prabhas with Adipurush, and NTR with War 2 made direct Bollywood films but faced bitter results.
For the first time in their careers, Ram Charan with Zanjeer, Prabhas with Adipurush, and NTR with War 2 worked with Bollywood directors by believing in them, but the Bollywood directors completely failed to use their potential.
Putting the numbers aside, the Bollywood directors did not even give much scope for our actors to perform. For all these three movies, Telugu audiences are not at all happy with the output and the portrayal of the lead heroes.
Bollywood directors somehow do not understand the strengths of our actors and are not showcasing them on screen. Definitely from now on, Tollywood heroes might not even work with Bollywood directors after these experiences, as actors are also getting criticism for their performances in those films, and the movies are not working at the box office as well.
