Kangana Ranaut is facing challenges finding buyers for her films in the Telugu states.
After the recent box office failure of Jigra starring Alia Bhatt, Telugu distributors are reportedly not showing any interest to invest in Bollywood actress led films.
Ranaut's upcoming film 'Emergency' which delves into the politically charged period of the 1975 Emergency in India, has cleared a major obstacle by securing certification from CBFC.
The film, in which Kangana portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has attracted attention due to its portrayal of sensitive historical events and political figures.
Though the film’s high anticipation and the buzz surrounding its controversial subject matter are good for the business, the reluctance of distributors in the Telugu states remains a worry.
Many are cautious after witnessing the poor performance of Bollywood films in the region, particularly after Jigra.
This says about the uncertainty surrounding Bollywood films' marketability in the South, though when led by prominent actresses like Ranaut.
