Telugu Film Industry is the second largest film industry in India after Bollywood (Hindi Films), But highest number of movie releases comes from Tollywood (TFI) in the last 8 years. Since 2011 Bollywood gave big fight to both Tollywood and Kollywood (Tamil Film Industry) in number of releases in a calendar year. Coming to Telugu Film Industry Top Ten Tollywood Heroes, there are lots of legendary actors and versatile actors since the beginning of Telugu Films but only few got Core following from audience and other than movie lovers. Lets get into there names and there strengths and weakness.

Well we all know starting from NTR, ANR, Krishna, Shoban Babu, Krishnam Raju, Mohan Babu, Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Rajasekhar, Srikanth, Jagapathi Babu all these stars, actors performed to the best and achieved fan following with lots of awards from Govt and other private awards.

Coming to the Current Generation -

1. Pawan Kalyan

No need of introduction and no words to describe his stamina at box office, without success itself he can pull the crowd to morning shows and if there is any hero or actor in India having Cult and Core fan following then it is Mr Pawan Kalyan.

2. Mahesh Babu

Tollywood was lucky enough having star like Mahesh Babu as he is the only hero from tollywood, who can match to Bollywood and Hollywood movies with his perfection.

3. Jr. NTR

Angry young man and having diction in his mouth, NTR can easily take his opponents with spell bounding dialogues. Having lots of mass following from all areas.

4. Ram Charan

Within a short span if any hero is there to reach that top slot, he is Mr. Ram Charan, having continuous box office hits – he is always a tuff contender for his opponents to beat.

5. Prabhas

6. Allu Arjun

7. Ravi Teja

8. Nani

The discussion has come again after a very long time – Yes Tollywood Number One Actor – Star – Hero, whatever the status but the discussions are back again after this year 2011-2012 super success of Tollywood Films at Indian Box-office.

Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, NTR, Prabhas, Allu Arjun, Ravi Teja, Ram, Ram Charan, Naga Chaitanya, Manchu Manoj, Sunil are the stars who are running through success since last couple of years at telugu cinema box-office.

Pawan Kalyan undoubtedly the king of box office either way, but lacks consistency on hitting the bulls eye every time he delivers a new release like Sr. NTR and Mega Star. But had following which will never let him down, irrespective of the box office success. With recent Gabbar Singh Blockbuster who cleared all the doubts to all his juniors that Pawan Kalyan is always King of Box office at all Centers.

Mahesh Babu who took a very long break after Athidi – seen super success with Blockbuster Dookudu and Super Hit movie Businessman. His success lies in his confidence and he always been there at No.1 spot irrespective of his box office success like Pawan Kalyan but lacks mass following till date. If Mahesh continuous to rock with different variety of films in the coming couple of years – then easily he will be the numero uno at TFI.

NTR is simply like a transformer who can suit to all character irrespective of his size, age and fan following. Undoubtedly he is a mass hero and can carry a character on his shoulders. His timing of dialogues and comedy sense is like master-class. But he never tries to do movies with new directors and always runs behind successful directors who cannot elevate Tarak in a new way. After Adhurs, Brindavanam, Jr. NTR was proved that he can easily carry class characters also. He is always in the competition but lacks consistency like Mahesh Babu in delivering biggest blockbusters when needed.

Coming to other star hero’s like Ram Charan, Prabhas both should prove them self in the coming years – Prabhas is very much senior but he has to improve his dialogue delivery and other aspects which will increase his fan base all over Andhra pradesh like PK, MB n NTR. Cherry has to wait for couple of more years in competing for the No.1 slot.

No other hero in telugu film industry is near by to hold that No. 1 position in the coming years – Ravi teja, Naga Chaitanya, Manchu Manoj, Allu Arjun, Ram and Nani.

But if you take three clauses into consideration then we can Rank the above Superstars like this -

Pawan Kalyan – Never Heard Craze

Mahesh Babu – Good Looking, Ladies Fans, Craze

Jr. NTR – Mass Following, Dialogues

Probably the only director in the history of Telugu Film Industry after Dasari Narayana Rao, Raghavendra Rao, Bapu, K. Viswanath who believed that Director is the hero of the film. Now Rajamouli proved that no need of big stars or legendary actors for him to make blockbuster film like EEGA.

Rajamouli was very calm going and good director who believes in skill not in fame and following directed EEGA with lot of support from his core team and finally made it really big with EEGA creating sensation with its Animation and proved that, if you have talent and skill then you are always in the success route.

Rajamouli usually go for Success Tour after his film releases and now its EEGA movie turn to take the feedback from the Andhra Pradesh audience. Rajamouli, Nani, Kiccha Sudeep, Thagubotu Ganesh, Suresh Babu and other movie unit members visited all over AP. Here are the videos for you folks…..

She is gorgeous, she is beautiful, she is a singer, she is popular celebrity, she is daughter of Indian cinema versatile king Kamal Hassan. But she suffered from box office success rate, hope everyone got her name now – She is the beautiful actress of South Indian Cinema – Shruti Hassan.

Lets get into her Film Career:

1. Hey Ram (Hindi, Telugu): Shruti played as child artist a cameo as Shruti Patel which was released in the year 2000. Starring Kamal Hassan, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee. Not that successful.

2. Luck (Hindi): In the year 2009, Shruti made her first appearance in Luck starring – Ayesha Kumar and Natasha kumar which was completely blown at box office.

3. Unnaipol Oruvan (Tamil): Shruti hassan played a special appearance in promotional video which got huge response in the year 2009.

4. Eenadu (Telugu, Tamil): A remake version of Hindi movie Wednesday, shruti gave her voice and music composition which got popular but movie didn’t reach the audience. Year 2009.

5. Hisss (English): A special performance by shruti hassan in the promotional video. In the year 2010, but in India very few knows about Hisss.

6. Anaganaga O Dheerudu (Telugu): A highly anticipated movie from Walt Disney Pictures, where shruti hassan played as priya got rave reviews from film critics. But the movie bombed at box office in the year 2011.

7. Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji (Hindi): What a role – Nikki Narang was in DTBHJ, truely shruti hassan proved that she is capable of expressing the dialogues and emotions. But this movie was failed at box office too. Which was released in 2011.

8. 7aam Arivu (Tamil, Telugu): Shruti Hassan backed her role Subha Srinivasan very well through out the movie. She looked really beautiful in the songs. She done every and gave the best to the film but lack of proper screenplay and editing costed the movie at box office in the year 2011.

9. Oh My Friend (Telugu): Truly this movie would have been a hit in her career but again the title sent wrong messages to the family audience. Movie had great content, beautiful cast and good music. No one knows why this film failed to see the success in the year 2011. Shruti Hassan played in the role Siri Chandana.

10.  3 movie (Tamil): With the un-anticipated hype created with “Why This Kolaveri Di” tune the movie did not reach the audience and failed miserably at the kollywood box-office. Shruti Hassan played as Janani and she performed with ease in every scene. No doubt she had the talent but lacked the luck thats what heard from her fans.

11. Gabbar Singh (Telugu): The most anticipated movie of the year 2012 starring Power Star Pawan Kalyan and Shruti Hassan in the lead became a unanimous hit on the first day and will become blockbuster very soon. With Gabbar Singh – Shruti Hassan finally got her much awaited box office success. She deserved this a long back and it came with a blockbuster now said directors, producers and shruti hassan fans all over South India. She played as Bhagyalakshmi and mesmerized everyone with her cute looks. She was also the main asset for Gabbar Singh film to become blockbuster of all time in Telugu Cinema.

Congratulations to Shruti Hassan for first success with a blockbuster. You deserve it.

Devi Sri Prasad came with astounding tunes for Gabbar Singh telugu movie starring Pawan Kalyan and Shruti Hassan in the lead roles. Audio of gabbar singh released all over the world on April 15th 2012 by Megastar chiranjeevi in Shilpa Kala Vedika, Hyderabad. For the first time ever in tollywood a movie got this much hype before its release.

Coming to the Audio Songs of Gabbar Singh movie:

1.  Dekho Dekho Gabbar Singh:

Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry and Baba Sehgal (Rap)

Singers: Baba Sehgal, Naveen Madhav

No doubt its an instant chartbuster because of the vocals given by baba sehgal once again. Devi gave extraordinary sounds for this track, also the best music score in the recent times by devi especially. Sastry asusual gave awesome lyrics for this song. Pawan Kalyan introduction song – Dekho Dekho.

2. Aakasam Ammayi Ayithe

Lyrics: Chandrabose

Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Gopika Poornima

A completely mesmerizing melody again from chandrabose pen. Shankar Mahadevan just eased through the lyrics and gopika poornima at her best in this track. Lot of scope for harish shankar to take audience to a beautiful picturization. At starting one will think the track copied from FANAA movie, but it will be for 5 seconds and rest is from dsp creativity.

3. Mandu Babulam

Lyrics: Sahithi

Singers: Kota Srinivasa Rao and chorus

Versatile actor kota garu gave life to this song by putting his vocals at best, without doubt Mandu Babulam song will be a trend setter for all Drunkard’s and  Bar’s. This song will go with complete mass touch from the beginning, devi sri at his best.

4. Pilla

Lyrics: Devi Sri Prasad

Singers: Vadepalli Srinivas, Pawan Kalyan

A complete out and out mass track starting with pawan kalyan voice, he used to do vocals in his style and rest is in vadepalli hands. Who came up with excellent performance all through the peppy track. Devi sri penned for this “Pilla” song which comes when gabbar singh will tease shruti hassan. Power star fans will definitely like this mass song.

5. Dil Se

Lyrics: Bhaskar Batla

Singers: Shwetha Mohan, Karthik

Song starts with a good background music, devi sri gave second melody track and this goes deep inside music lovers as Shwetha Mohan and karthik gave there best vocals for dil se. Bhaskara Batla gave a normal lyrics but devi sri outdone lyrics with his music instruments. A cool melody which should definitely have good screen picturization.

6. Kevvu Keka

Lyrics: Sahithi

Singers: Mamata Sharma, Murali

Dabbangg movie became blockbuster because of Munni Badnam song, now the same item bomb Malaika Arora is going to shake legs with pawan kalyan in “Kevvu Keka” song. This will definitely add much more positive talk for the entire unit. Devi Sri prasad took the best from sahithi where the concept idea was given by his father satyamurthy. Mamata sharma vocals will definitely take B and C center audience mad.

Overall the final verdict of Gabbar Singh audio review is nothing but Super Hit and devi gave once again best songs for pawan kalyan. Gabbar singh is a movie in mass environment, so with this mass tracks no doubt movie will have an edge to become biggest blockbuster.

Gabbar singh movie release date: May 9th 2012
