Telugu filmmakers are not keen on roping in glam dolls as the female leads lately.
Every director is penning scripts that have a strong female lead that cannot be essayed by actresses who have looks but no talent. This trend has put two actresses in high demand now.
They are Keerthy Suresh and Sai Pallavi, who have proved their mettle in the early stages of their career.
Super talented actresses like Samantha and Anushka are past their prime leaving very few options for directors that are looking for actresses that can pull off challenging roles.
Sai Pallavi has always made sure to do characters that have importance. She never played spineless characters that are just for the sake of running around trees.
Keerthy Suresh also rejected many films post Mahanati and their patience and persistence has paid off with directors and writers penning characters that cannot be turned down by them.
