It is a common factor to see heroes and heroines moving together with friendship. But these days the heroines are showing more interest in the directors.
We have many young directors in Tollywood. More or less they all look reasonably good though not on par with that of heroes.
A north Indian heroine is hooked to a South Director at present. He gave her a 'hit' recently and she is waiting for another opportunity from him.
The director is also romantic and so he loves her company. Grapevine says that both the heroine and the director are spending a great time together.
The heroine may not get offers to act beside top heroes due to her average looks and so she is limiting herself to this mid range director who is capable of making films with mid range heroes.
