It is often said that Telugu-speaking actresses do not get enough opportunities in their own industry and are forced to look towards Tamil cinema for better roles.
While that may still be true for many, actresses such as Vaishnavi Chaitanya, Sri Gouri Priya and Ananthika are now getting multiple opportunities in Telugu cinema.
Vaishnavi, who is gearing up for the release of her new love story EPIC – First Semester this weekend, has revealed that she currently has several projects in the pipeline.
“I am currently doing a film with Nithiin under the Sithara banner. I am also working on two Tamil films and one Hindi film,” she said.
That means Vaishnavi currently has four films in progress across three industries. It reflects the growing demand for the actress following her performances in films such as Baby and EPIC – First Semester.
However, one area where she is yet to make a major breakthrough is landing a film opposite one of the leading stars in Telugu cinema.
While actresses like Vaishnavi are getting multiple projects, securing big-ticket opportunities opposite top stars continues to be a challenge for several Telugu actresses.
