For Tollywood glam's not enough

T-town���������s fascination for star-centric scripts in which leading actresses are left with ���������four-scenes and four songs��������� is having its repercussions. While some leading actresses are happy with what they are being offered, some A-listers are thumbing down offers, despite big pay packets.
Reigning star Trisha says she hasn���������t ���������signed a Telugu film because��������� she has no ���������dates��������� and insists that she���������s likely to sign a new film in Tollywood soon.On the other hand, Nayantara has openly announced that she���������s ���������fed up��������� of playing the glam girl in film after film and it only interested in performance-oriented roles (case in point the blockbuster ���������Simha���������) to showcase her acting skills. ���������As an actor I dislike repeating myself. I also have reservations about doing the ���������four-scenes and four song��������� roles,��������� she says.
BO queen Anushka also is playing safe and has comic-caper ���������Ragada��������� in hand, while Genelia hasn���������t signed anything after ���������Orange���������. Even Sneha Ullal hasn���������t cashed in on the BO success of ���������Simha��������� and has opted for a Tamil film. ���������I am looking for roles that would give me a new image. I am tired of playing the goody two shoes kind of roles,��������� Sneha reasons. For Mamta Mohandass, other language films are a better option rather than insipid roles in Telugu. ���������Nothing but the best, can beckon me to do Telugu films,��������� she affirms.
���������The audience usually follows the male protagonist for the story part and likes watching the heroine for the glam quotient.Women-centric movies have also failed to click at the BO. Leading ladies in most mainstream cinema are forced to either repeat themselves or do language films,��������� says film producer Lagadapati Sridhar.
Well, until the winds of change sweep T-town, looks like our lovely ladies will have to wait, or look for better options.
