Telugu filmdom isn’t male dominated anymore: Rakul Preet Singh
She is just a decade old in southern showbiz, but Rakul Preet Singh has managed to carve a niche for herself.
The actress feels there has been a change in the Telugu film industry as it is no more patriarchal.
Rakul made her acting debut with the Kannada film Gilli in 2009. She subsequently made her Telugu debut with Keratam, later she has starred in Telugu hits like Venkatadri Express, Current Theega, Rough, Loukyam, Kick 2, Sarrainodu, Nannaku Prematho, Dhruva, Spyder and Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru.
Asked if she feels the Telugu film industry is hero-centric, Rakul told IANS: “Don’t you think the world is male dominated? I would put it that way and I don’t think that it is hero-centric anymore. Times are changing and there are good films. If you look at a Baahubali which was such a big film, the whole thing is about Anushka Shetty’s character being so strong.”
Rakul then praised actresses Nayanthara, Trisha, Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt for doing some ‘superb’ work.
