Continues the hilarious dialogue written by Jandhyala in the movie "Jayammu Nischayammura". Kota enacting the role of a person from a remote Telangana village pours life into the role. In this episode of 'Role and Actor - made for each other' let us discuss the actors who gave life to the roles played by actors who perfected in Telangana dialect.

It was not until the late 80's that these kinds of roles were that popular. Actors like Kota, Tanikella Bharani, Telangana Shakuntala excelled in these roles. These roles initally started for comedy purpose in the movies. We can see actors enacting these kind of roles for comedy purposes in movies like "Namaste Anna", "Jayammu nischayammura", "Money", "Moodu mukkalata" etc. However controversy surrounded these roles when the audience noted that only the villains were made to use this accent. Actors like Bharani, Narsing being examples of this.

Rayalaseema roles:

It all started with Venky's "Preminchukundam raa" in the year 1997. Visualized by Deenraj, dialogues written by paruchuri brothers, directed by Jayant this movie became a runaway hit and the roles showing Rayalaseema mafia dons started holding the centre stage in Telugu movies.

Clad in a cream-colored dhoti and lalchi, wearing a kanduwa on the shoulder and with a 100-volt voice, Jayaprakash epitomizes these roles. His mannerisms, rolling of the eyeballs and his near perfect accent suits the role well. He portrayed this role in movies like Preminchukundam raa, Samarasimha reddy, Narasimha Naidu etc adding his own contribution to make those movies super hits. Actors like Aahuthi prasad also have acted in these kinds of roles in many movies.

Whatever may be the roles, either mythological, folklore or family oriented dramas, Telugu movie field can boast of actors who have given their life to those roles making them second to none in their respective roles. Idlebrain.com salutes those roles and the actors that portrayed those roles.
