There are people who often say that Tollywood needs to come up with variety and versatile content. But some situations arise where two filmmakers arrive with the same kind of cinema. No one knows this till these films hit the screens hits and the audience find out about it in theatres. Though each director makes it in his own style with different backdrops, different budgets and different styles, the basic concept remains the same. Aadi’s ‘Sukumarudu’ and Nagarjuna’s ‘Greeku Veerudu’ which came out in the same month have a similar storyline.
In the same way, ‘Chandramukhi’ and ‘Aprichitudu’ deal with a split personality disorder. In a similar manner, two films are now dealing with the same concept. Sharwanand’s ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’ released recently and got a very good response from the critics. It is based on the time travelling concept where three friends go back in time to rectify some mistakes. Without any grandeur and confused screenplay, the director made this film in a clear-cut fashion which impressed everyone.
Now, a big star hero is also dealing with time travel concept. But the scale is huge for this film. Around 500 crores are being spent on this film which is under progress at the moment. Top-class artists and top-notch technicians are brought on board for this project and it will have a pan-Indian release. While it will be having a different backdrop and new scenes, the basic concept remains the same as ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’ as per reports. Let us wait and see if the big hero impresses with his time travel film like Sharwanand or not.

Ileana D’Cruz: A Talented Actress Caught Between Industries
Ileana D’Cruz, a popular name in Telugu cinema, finds herself at an interesting juncture in her career. Despite settling in North India for over a decade, she retains a strong fanbase in the South. Known for her glamorous roles in Tollywood, her stardom there has dimmed in recent years.
Her Bollywood foray began brightly with the critically acclaimed “Barfi!” However, the initial promise fizzled out, leaving her with a dearth of substantial projects. This comes after welcoming her first child in 2023.
Addressing her career path, Ileana clarifies that her decision to do “Barfi!” wasn’t a strategic shift towards Bollywood. It was driven by a genuine love for the unique story. However, a misconception arose that she was abandoning South Indian cinema.
“There was this weird misconception that ‘she’s moving to Bollywood now. She’s not going to be interested in doing South films,'” she laments. This, coupled with her own increased selectivity after entering Bollywood, resulted in a significant decline in offers from the South.
Furthermore, Ileana feels a lot of her past work went unnoticed. Her recent Bollywood film, “Tera Kya Hoga Lovely,” tackled the sensitive issue of India’s obsession with fair skin. While the film addressed a social concern, it did not achieve widespread recognition.
Ileana D’Cruz’s situation highlights the challenges faced by actors attempting to navigate between regional film industries. Her talent and dedication are undeniable, yet she finds herself with limited opportunities in both Bollywood and Tollywood. The future remains uncertain, but her commitment to good storytelling suggests a potential resurgence with the right project.
