Opportunities in Tollywood are like shooting stars, they come fast, sparkle, and sometimes vanish before you know it.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 11 Nov 2025 9:00 PM ISTOpportunities in Tollywood are like shooting stars, they come fast, sparkle, and sometimes vanish before you know it. Raashi Khanna has been careful about which ones to chase. After a series of Telugu movies, she’s also trying her luck in Bollywood, but the Telugu offers haven’t stopped coming. Her recent film Telusu Kada got her the attention, and Ustad Bhagat Singh is almost ready to hit screens.
Amid all this, news came that Raashi turned down a big offer to act opposite a senior Telugu hero. The team had approached her, and she was even ready to sign initially. Everything seemed perfect, but then she saw the actual role, and things changed.
Apparently, the role was not just a supporting part, it was the senior hero’s romantic interest. Raashi reportedly felt that playing a love interest to a much older hero could create problems for her career. She was worried that young heroes might skip offering her lead roles afterward. Thinking ahead, she politely declined and told the team she wasn’t interested in that part.
Now, the filmmakers are on the hunt for another actress. Some might call it a missed opportunity, but Raashi seems to be making smart, long-term choices. Fans and insiders are already speculating about her next move.
