While Tamil actors like Suriya, Karthi and Vishal take the effort of promoting the Telugu dubbed versions of their movies in Telangana and Andhra markets, Telugu actors have not quite been able to breach the Andhra-Tamil Nadu border. The exception to this has been Baahubali whose second installment has reportedly been sold in Tamil for Rs 45 crore.
In the past many years, two actors who have been popular in each other's territory are Telugu actor Allu Arjun and Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi. Chiranjeevi's nephew Allu Arjun's dubbed movies do such phenomenal business in Kerala that he is referred to as 'Mallu' Arjun. And Suresh Gopi's fiery police roles have found acceptability in the Telugu market.
As India continues to grow as a film market internationally and domestically, with the rise of streaming platforms its regional language cinema will also grow exponentially, with Tollywood leading the charge.
"Films have become more relatable and have a realistic approach. I give that credit entirely to the new age filmmakers -- the directors, actors, the producers. The Telugu film industry is on a growth curve. We are moving and transitioning into a new era where every actor, including me and my fellow actors, my fellow directors, think that we should go for a realistic approach," Satyadev told media.
Satyadev quickly added to this: "But I wouldn't give it completely to the Hollywood movies. When I do a film, me and the filmmakers make sure (and I have been doing it for the last so many years) that we approach it in a natural way and not go over the top."
Bollywood is part of the larger Indian Film Industry based in Mumbai and produces the Hindi language based films. Bollywood, formally referred to as Hindi Cinema, is the largest film producer in India accounting for 45% of the net film revenue. Bollywood produced 252 films out of 1969 films in India in 2014. Bollywood has become part of the Indian's story by influencing the music film. With the sales of Hindi movies worldwide especially in the Asian countries, Middle East, Africa, and Europe, Bollywood continues to generate a lot of revenue. Hindi actors have also gained significantly through the improved income from sales of their movies.
Pollywood is a Punjabi Cinema industry in India and Pakistan which produces films in the Punjabi language. Pollywood has become synonymous with the Indian Punjab especially in the 21st century because of the quality and number of Punjabi film it produces. Punjabi cinema has grown from producing five movies in 1997 to producing over 100 films annually. Pollywood currently spends a lot of money and uses home-grown stars and Bollywood actors in its film production. The gross earnings for the film industry have also increased significantly with some movies bringing in more than $10 million.
Hiring managers from the US have been hiring Telugus at large and the trend continues to be the same. All engineering students are packed off to the US and this has resulted in its growth. Like Telugu, all languages that are associated with economic and politically sound clusters of people have risen proportionally.
The roots of Telugu cinema can be traced back as early as 1921 when the first Telugu silent film, Bhishma Pratigna, by Raghupathi Venkaiah Naidu (known as the father of Telugu cinema), was released. The industry grew steadily, and by the 1950s, Telugu cinema had established itself as a major film industry in India. The emergence of iconic actors and directors such as NT Rama Rao, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, and BN Reddy contributed significantly to its growth.
Now, interesting news is that in Tollywood also his brand has grown significantly, seemingly surpassing Director Shankar's brand. The tremendous craze for Leo in both A Centers and B, C Centers, despite competition from Balakrishna's movie, underscores the prominence of Lokesh Kanagaraj's brand.
In the past, Shankar's films used to match the hype of straight Telugu films, but now Lokesh's films are achieving the same. If "Leo" achieves significant success, his brand will undoubtedly grow even larger. Presently, Telugu audiences seem to be more excited about Lokesh Kanagaraj's films than Shankar's.
The Indian film industry grew 27 percent in 2017 on the back of box office growth in both domestic and international markets, according to a report by EY and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI).
Higher overseas box office collections for domestic-made movies boosts Indian tourism, creates new jobs and adds value to the Indian economy through taxes, said Abhishek, who only goes by one name, and is a partner and consultant at Deloitte India.
"I am proud that Indian movies are being shown in various American theaters, unlike the old times where some Indian would buy an old Indian cinema house and we were stuck with that," said Pawar, who spent about $150 on nearly a dozen Indian films last year. "I also see a lot of Americans in the audience who come to see Indian movies."
Hindi-language movies, popularly known as Bollywood films, earned more in international markets in 2017 compared to their counterparts in other languages such as Tamil, Telugu or Punjabi, Abhishek said.
While some Tamil and Telugu movies did well in international markets in 2017, and Tamil superstars like Rajinikanth have a huge following in different parts of the world, other films proved unpopular with audiences, said Abhishek.
Excluding the earnings from "Baahubali 2" last year, the total overseas box office collections of Tamil and Telugu movies would have declined from 2016, he said. "Baahubali 2" originally released in Tamil and Telugu and was dubbed in several languages including English, Hindi and Malayalam.
The Indian community in China has only about 15,000 people compared to 2.5 million in the U.S. and 1.5 million in the U.K., according to the Deloitte-MPDA report. But that hasn't affected the success of Indian movies in China.
Post-2010, however, the market for Tamil dubbed films in the Telugu states began to shrink, possibly due to the growing fame of homegrown directors like SS Rajamouli, Trivikram Srinivas, Chandra Sekhar Yeleti, Puri Jagannadh, Sukumar, Sekhar Kammula and others, and the audience preferring to watch films in their own language.
A fan page of Allu Arjun shared a video which showed Sakshi taking up a question at a press meet. She was asked if she had watched a Telugu film. She replied, "You know I've seen all Allu Arjun movies. All of it. But, I don't think that there was Netflix or Hotstar. It was all on YouTube, on Goldmine Productions. They used to put all the Telugu movies in Hindi. So growing up, I watched all Allu Arjun movies, and I'm a huge huge fan."
The reasons for this are obvious. According to the Ficci-EY media and entertainment industry report 2017, Indo-Americans represent one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in North America, with the latest census data showing a 69.4% increase in their numbers in the US between 2000 and 2010, and similar growth in Canada. A large number of these non-resident Indians, Pillai said, are Telugu-speaking people, especially in the information technology sector. And, unlike Hindi speakers, they have remained rooted in their culture and movies, growing up to be fans of stars like Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu.
I realize that the budgets are very different and the movies are made on another scale, but people judge a film for what it is and not the budgets they are made at or the kind of limitations and liberties the filmmakers have."
The huge success of movies like Baahubali, Pushpa (2021) and RRR (2022) have raised the stakes. Prabhas, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun and NTR Jr have become pan-India stars. And, an estimated 11 male actors are said to have a significant market in north, central and west India. Some of the big actors in Tollywood get paid between Rs50 crore and Rs100 crore per movie. The production costs have gone up to capitalise on the trend and to dish out a fare that will appeal to a wider audience. Directors tasked to ensure a wider penetration of their films get a hefty pay and a generous cut of the profits. RRR will be released in 40 languages in the next one year. The sequel to Pushpa will be released in 10 languages. The Telugu industry is clearly undergoing a churn.
