Lokah Heroine Boldly Reveals Why Telugu Films Avoided
At the Kotha Lokah success meet, Kalyani talked about these rumors openly. She said, “The first people who truly supported me were the Telugu audience.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 4 Sept 2025 11:56 PM ISTA rising star is like a river that flows steadily, looking for the right path to reach the sea. Kalyani Priyadarshan, a beautiful girl from Kerala, has been making her way in Tollywood, but her journey hasn’t been easy. Tollywood usually accepts talented girls from Kerala even if they don’t speak Telugu well. While Samantha Ruth Prabhu has become one of the top heroines, Kalyani mostly did movies that were dubbed into Telugu instead of original Telugu films.
Her early movies, like Hello, Chitralahari, and Ranarangam, showed some good moments but didn’t bring her consistent success. Unlike Samantha, Kalyani has not focused on Tamil or Malayalam films, and there were some whispers that she might avoid Telugu projects altogether. Her fans were interested in knowing why she made those choices and where her career was heading.
At the Kotha Lokah success meet, Kalyani talked about these rumors openly. She said, “The first people who truly supported me were the Telugu audience. I will never forget that. If the right stories come along, I want to do a lot of films in Telugu. The love you show me is our strength.” Her words showed that she values meaningful roles more than just doing films for the sake of it.
Kalyani is slowly finding her place in Tollywood. Fans are now excited to see her next projects, knowing she chooses her roles carefully. Her story shows that patience, hard work, and making the right choices often lead to success, and the support of the Telugu audience keeps guiding her along the way.
