These Top Four 2000s Heroines Reenter Tollywood With Style
This year, four familiar faces have walked back into the spotlight. Their stories are not just about films but also about pauses, families, and fresh beginnings.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 22 Aug 2025 3:38 PM ISTThe shine of cinema never leaves a true actor. Even after years of silence, the call of “lights, camera, action” tempts many back. Tollywood, which once saw some heroines rule the screen in the 2000s, is again opening doors for them. This year, four familiar faces have walked back into the spotlight. Their stories are not just about films but also about pauses, families, and fresh beginnings.
First comes Sridevi Vijaykumar, who made her debut opposite Prabhas in Eeshwar. After marriage and family life kept her away, she is returning as the lead heroine in Sundarakanda alongside Nara Rohit. Then comes Disco Shanti, remembered for her high-energy songs in the ’90s. After decades away, she is surprising everyone with a strong role in Bullet Bandi. Both re-entries remind us that time may pass, but screen presence never fades.
Sameera Reddy, known for Ashok and Jai Chiranjeeva, took a long break for her children. She is now returning with a bold horror-thriller, Chimney, where she plays three different shades of one woman.
Rambha, who once set screens on fire with glamour, tested waters on the small screen and now hints at a big-screen comeback. Each of these names brings back nostalgia but also curiosity about how audiences will receive them again.
Re-entry is not just about reviving careers. It is about courage, patience, and passion. Fans who once cheered for these heroines are now waiting with fresh excitement. Whether their films succeed or not, the fact that they are stepping back into cinema itself feels like a celebration. These four stars prove that in Tollywood, age or break does not end a journey, it only adds a new chapter.
