Why Bolly Critics Targeting Telugu Producers Suddenly?
If we do a little digging, it looks like Bollywood is quite upset that, after Telugu movies and Telugu directors, many Telugu producers are now finding a footing in the Hindi industry.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 24 April 2026 11:24 PM ISTOut of the blue, popular critics and a small-time actor, controversy’s address, Kamal R Khan, tweeted that Mythri Movie Makers is not making profits, and made only ₹20 crores from the Pushpa franchise. He stated that with Prabhas Fauzi, this production is likely to fall into a ₹200 crores debt trap already. What’s the need for a Bollywood trade guy to speak low about a Telugu production house all of a sudden?
If we do a little digging, it looks like Bollywood is quite upset that, after Telugu movies and Telugu directors, many Telugu producers are now finding a footing in the Hindi industry. Some say that with Dil Raju’s entry into Bollywood through Salman Khan’s film, right now, Bollywood is getting unstable. Already, Mythri Movie Makers made that move earlier with Jaat, and they are likely to continue it. As Telugu producers are cementing their place in Mumbai, and Telugu heroes opening their offices there, it looks like Bollywood has started the bashing game.
Some of these critics are also spreading bad news about Telugu states that, despite Bollywood giving Telugu movies like Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, more than ₹1000 crores in collection, Telugu folks haven’t given Dhurandhar 2 more than ₹30 crores in collection. However, to promote Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, the respective teams worked day and night in Bollywood, doing a lot of media meets and taking part in TV shows, but the Dhurandhar team hasn’t done anything such here, haven’t they?
