Film exhibitor Daggubati Suresh Babu recently participated in an exclusive roundtable interview with his contemporaries organized by Pinkvilla. During the interview, the filmmaker was asked to name the big star in Telugu cinema based on box office collections.
In response, the filmmaker said, “It’s a mix always. Independent stars have phenomenal pull. A director without a star doesn’t have the same pull as they have with a star. An independent star with a seriously brilliant director probably will get bigger.”
“In Telugu, Pawan Kalyan independently might have the best opening, Prabhas will have a phenomenal opening, Bunny (Allu Arjun) will have an opening. All of them are capable and again the kind of film and kind of combination would help,” the exhibitor added.
Suresh Babu further said, “Now is Prabhas the biggest hero in the country? We don’t know because he has Kalki and he has Baahubali…but in between he didn’t have any major things. It is also good to have these conversations like is Ajith bigger, is Vijay bigger, or is Rajinikanth bigger…the discussion goes on.”
“I wouldn’t want to pinpoint and say, This is the biggest. See, in Andhra, we would say Pawan Kalyan has the biggest following. Now, when Pawan Kalyan also comes with some small directors, he comes with a big opening. We won’t know what will happen if he comes with a bigger director. Also, if you do a film which is not what the audience wants and he does something like Johnny or something…they don’t want it,” he added.
Suresh Babu concluded by saying it is good that such conversations continue to happen and that people can discuss stars and directors.

Being an introvert is often misunderstood as being boring and uninteresting. Such people tend to be ignored or cared less amongst people who are relatively gregarious and expressive. It is their silence that speaks of their wise and thoughtful nature. If you’re also an introvert, here are some of the top picks of Bollywood movies that you can watch on Netflix.
Opposed to popular standing in society, our Bollywood cinematic geniuses have presented some of the beautiful stories from the perspective of an introvert. It is through the directorial lens of these films, that we get to see a larger picture of an introvert’s life, making us all fall in love with them.
Ayan Mukerji’s directorial Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was released in 2013. Headlined by Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Kalki Koechlin, this is one of the most loved coming-of-age films ever made in Bollywood. Over the years, the relatable storyline has resonated with the youngsters. The movie narrates the story of four friends who embark on a trip to Manali and experience the time of their lives.
While the characters of Bunny (Ranbir), Aditi (Kalki), and Avi (Aditya) were way too expressive and chilled out, it was Deepika’s Naina who was truly an introvert. She struggled to be like others, but it is during the course of the story we see a different side to her which is equally beautiful.
The next one on the list is Vijay Lalwani’s Karthik Calling Karthik, released in 2010. Is nostalgia already hitting you hard? The movie featuring Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone needs to be talked about more than it usually is. It is a thriller romantic story that features an introverted Karthik(Farhan) who is often been bullied and has experienced several setbacks.
His life changes only one day when he receives a phone call from a stranger who promises to change him and his personality in the best of his interest. It is only in the climax of the story that we realize the most unexpected twist that waits for the cinephiles. Nevertheless, it is one of the best films that have been made from an introvert’s perspective.
The 2022 released Qala is directed by Anvita Dutt Guptan. Another masterpiece that truly deserves your attention stars Triptii Dimri in the titular role along with Babil Khan, Swastika Mukherjee, and more in key roles. The musical thriller is the story of a talented singer, Qala who wishes to become a great singer, mostly to win her mother Urmila’s (Swastika) validation. To do that, Qala tries her best, but at times hard work can overpower talent.
That’s how her mother finds Jagan (Babil) out of nowhere and supports him throughout in uplifting his career. She advises her daughter to get married, stating a girl’s place is to be with her husband. This leads to an emotional turmoil and angst-filled in her heart that comes out most perilously.
Next one on the list has to be Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha headlined by Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. As we know Imtiaz’s obsession with making multi-layered characters, in this one also we get to see Ved’s (Ranbir) both introverted and extroverted sides. Though he has the time of his life with Tara (Deepika) in Corsica, in between we also get to see him suppressing his inner self because of the professional path he chose for himself.
Abbas Tyrewala’s Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was released in 2008. Led by Imran Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, this is another cinematic brilliance that has been aging like a fine wine. The movie narrates the story of two best friends, Jai and Aditi (Imran and Genelia) who never realize their feelings for each other up until they find lovers for each other.
While Aditi was a social butterfly, Jai was calm, mature and wise in that sense. Though he could express himself and had friends, he would avoid indulging in fights, it is the climax of this rom-com, we get to see the opposite side of his personality making it the most iconic moment of the film.
Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon starrer Barreily Ki Barfi released in 2017 is truly a beautiful piece of film. The quirky romantic comedy unfolds when Bitti Mishra(Kriti), an outspoken woman from Bareilly, stumbles upon a book titled Bareilly Ki Barfi. She realizes that the protagonist of the book is herself. Bitti decides to find the author Pritam Vidrohi(Rajkummar), believing that he likes her the way she is.
While we see Chirag (Ayushmann) as a smart and manipulative person, Pritam Vidrohi is an innocent salesman who gets persuaded by Chirag. It is only, after a certain point, we get to see him giving it back to his bullies by taking the most important thing away from their lives. Despite it being a part of his plan, one enjoys Raj’s character in the film.
