The first person I appreciate would be the director, when I see a movie. I am a big fan of many directors in Tollywood. I think they have both Talent and Technique which is necessary in today's world. I am not a fan of any particular actor in Tollywood. But, I am very much impressed with this 23 year old guy who has the maturity of a 50 year old person. The first time I heard about this person was 10 years back. My friend who participated in a dance competition with him, and who is a great classical dancer, was singing praises of this guy and his talent. I never saw any of his performances till then. So, my conclusion was he is getting all the credit because he is the grandson of a Legend. But Later, when I saw some of his movies, I couldn't say a word against him. He is immensely talented-That's the first sentence which came to my mind.

But, there is nothing great in being good in your profession. Lots of people are good at what they do. But, what impressed me was the kind of person he is. I watched him in Television and what made me crazy is the why he delivered a speech. I think most of the young people would panic to speak in front of huge crowds. Some people could excel, after preparing for it days and nights. But, the people who speak what they feel at heart are most appreciated. It need not be Perfect- No one is perfect in this world. That's what I call a honest speech. That's when I thought he is not just this regular Star -Next Kid on the Block, rather he is Someone Special. Any Guy can become a Hero if good Directors like Mani Rathnam or Krishna Vamsi signs them in their movies. There is nothing great in being a Hero in a movie. The point is how heroic they are in their real life.

I read a lot about his latest movie - Narasimhudu. The problems the producer was facing to release the prints. How generous would it be, to give away the Remuneration- The Hard earned money. How many would do that? This is what I call a Heroic Act. I heard he had helped students by sending the amounts from his pocket and did charity in his own way. He is improving as an Actor, with every film. I can say he will definitely deliver another simhadri if he gets a good director - to utilize his talent. I don't think anyone can ignore him even if another 10 of his films do not work at box office. He has proved his mettle on the screen and everyone knows the potential of this little guy.

How many in Tollywood appreciate him..? How many congratulate him if he gets a success? How many people stand with him in his low times? We see people with not even average talent being appreciated. But, what a fate- a person with great acting skills is not appreciated in the inner circles. I feel proud that I am appreciating the Deserving person, what many people couldn't do. He is not a person who would make it an issue . I urge the people in Tollywood to appreciate the talented people in an unbiased way, and make it a better place. Thanks to idlebrain for giving me a chance to express my feelings.
