Tollywood stars are not known for experimenting with their films too much. While most prefer to play safe 'sticking to the formula', a handful of leading superstars seem to be breaking free of their comfort zone and trying things that haven't been done before in Telugu cinema, be it in terms of characterisation or genre. And going by the recent spate of films, it seems like Tollywood has taken a step in the right direction.
BEND IT LIKE MAHESH
After scoring a hit with the action-comedy- sentiment package of Dookudu, Mahesh Babu has tried to push the envelope constantly. He experimented with grey shades in Businessman and then, played a no-frills character in the family entertainer Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. Mahesh broke away from the Tollywood formula of six songs, five fights and a dash of slapstick comedy with his recent release 1 Nenokkadine.
The actor played the role of a rock star suffering from a mental disorder in the psychological thriller, something which was unprecedented in Tollywood. Mahesh spared no effort in getting into the skin of the character. The superstar teamed up an renowned transformation specialist, known for his DTP or Dramatic Transformation Principle, to get a slim new look.
