We have many artists in Tollywood nearing the retirement age or have already got retired from the film industry with no offers in hand. We don’t get to see them often in the news or media once they move out of the industry. But, the year of 2014 has changed this scenario and gave a golden chance for all these “once-popular” artists to display their service capabilities!
Looking at the artists like Sivaji, Suresh, Sarath Babu, Bhanuchander, Krishnam Raju, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Jeevitha Rajasekhar and Sivaji Raja – we can easily draw a pattern and see one common thing between them. All of them have already moved out of the film industry or continuing in it with a lot of struggle. Another common thing is that – they are supporting BJP and the leadership of Narendra Modi. The state committee of BJP has even released a schedule of the places in which all these actors will be campaigning for their party. Though everyone’s unclear about the motto behind getting all these actors on board, it is being said that the party has opened its doors for all the aspirants!
On the other hand, why do all these artists want to make a political entry and support Modi now? Do they want to go with the tide or do they have some other personal aspirations? Time will be having a right answer for this...
PS: Irrespective of the benifits that BJP might get from all these senior artists, it has managed to attract the powerful actor of Tollywood - Pawan Kalyan and might make use of his limit-less charishma in the coming elections!
