Suriya and Karthi got good following in Telugu too. Their movies got huge releases and they became equally important as Telugu young heroes and stars.
Just like Chiyaan Vikram, they too lost most of their market in Telugu. Suriya who rose to star status with Singham and many films hasn't scored a hit in 7 years in Telugu.
In Tamil, he is in a better position but in Telugu, Singham also did not work out. His Gang became a hit in Tamil but ended up as a flop in Telugu.
His next NGK will only get some buzz with Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh popularity but just on content level, movie is clearly based on Tamil politics and hence, it won't be such big thing in Telugu.
For Karthi, the situation is going from bad to worse. With Oopiri and Khakhee, he did seem like making a huge comeback but his next films ended up being disasters.
Now, even Dev turned out to be a disaster and the actor might not be able to give an advantage of Telugu market if he keeps up with it.
