Of late, many are of the opinion that Tollywood stars are playing submissive husbands roles.
A source shares "After playing fearless and invincible action heroes for years, Telugu stars are now exploring a different side of masculinity by portraying husbands who find themselves caught in domestic conflicts and often have to give in to their wives."
Kona Venkat said “It is a new trend in Tollywood and many heroes are joining the party,” He added “However, I don't like to call it a submissive role. Rather, it is a typical husband character that is highly relatable to audiences and reflects real-life situations. Actors have to play all kinds of roles, and playing a husband is also part of their job.”
Kona Venkat adds “Venkatesh is one of the most sought-after actors for such roles because he has a huge following among household and family audiences. He scores well with these characters and carries them off with considerable ease,”
Producer Suresh Babu speaking about Chiranjeevi role in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad says “Probably, Chiranjeevi wanted to do something different this time. He entertained audiences with his comic timing instead of relying entirely on his action image, and the response was overwhelming,”
He goes on "Ravi Teja has also explored the territory, playing a dutiful husband in Bharta Mahasayulaku Vignapthi and taking up another family-oriented role in his upcoming film Irumudi. Young actor Sharwanand, too, played a husband in Nari Nari Naduma Murari."
He adds “If one film becomes a massive success, it is natural for others to attempt similar themes because audiences have liked that particular kind of characters and storytelling. Filmmaking is a business at the end of the day, and people pick up anything that works,”
He cautioned “Even a successful formula needs proper execution and engaging treatment. Sometimes, those elements can be missing,”
He explains “Family dramas have brought audiences back to theatres. These Sankranthi films made strong numbers and brought back a festive atmosphere to theatres,”
