Star Hero Worries More About His Looks Than Movie

A senior Tollywood actor has become the talk of the industry after an interesting incident related to his latest movie. Though he is no longer a leading star, he has found success in supporting roles during the second phase of his career. Recently, he returned as a hero for a thriller film and actively took part in all the promotional events.

The movie has already created discussions because many people questioned the need for a senior actor to play the lead role at a time when audiences are very selective about watching films in theatres. However, what happened after the film was completed surprised many in the industry.

According to reports, the actor watched the final version of the movie a few weeks before its release. He was not unhappy with the story or the way the film was made. Instead, he became worried after seeing how old he looked on the big screen. The wrinkles on his face were clearly visible, and he felt they made him look much older than expected.

The actor reportedly asked the producer to use digital visual effects to smooth his face and make him appear younger. However, the producer was said to be facing financial problems. Since the film had very little business, spending extra money on visual corrections was not possible.

Even after hearing this, the actor did not drop the idea. Instead of putting more pressure on the producer, he reportedly decided to pay for the digital face cleanup using his own money. The visual work was completed so that he could look younger on screen.

This decision has started different discussions in film circles. Some people appreciated the actor for not adding more financial burden to the producer. Others felt that he seemed more concerned about his appearance than the overall quality and success of the movie.
