New Emotional Trend in Tollywood

There is a clear new trend emerging in Tollywood where star heroes are shifting away from pure action-packed entertainers to strong emotional dramas. Instead of focusing only on mass elevations, fights, and commercial formulas, filmmakers are now prioritizing stories with deep human emotions and strong values that connect with family audiences.

Upcoming big projects reflect this change. Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Mega158, directed by Bobby Kolli, is said to revolve around an emotional father-daughter sentiment. Similarly, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s NBK112 is being shaped as a message-oriented drama, while Ravi Teja’s Irumudi is also expected to be an emotional high-voltage film. Even Suriya’s Telugu project with Venky Atluri is reportedly a pure family emotion-driven story. Netizens are now curious whether this emotional shift will bring massive success or backfire at the box office.
