kollywood industry has gone through many leading and great heroines from the long time even they were not much impressive in Tamil language. One in few might surely would think that bollywood industry might be the host for kollywood industry to grow up but is it is unknown or many are ignoring that how much bollywood has borrowed from Kollywood over the decades..
It is to be known that from the long time that if the kollywood industry is looking for new and fresh faces roping from the North, the bollywood industry is attracting the well established actresses from the south and even some of the heroines are in the thoughts of increasing their craze and image all over by migrating into bollywood industry even after quite making their success down in the south. But how many current young generations well established actresses in the south has gone to the north and have been sustaining there? It is a big question among many movie buffs as well as in the minds of industry lovers.
There are few actresses like Vyjayanthimala, Hema Malini, Rekha, Sridevi etc in the past who had migrated to Hindi after having few successful years in Tamil industry and managed to get stardom without looking back again and never got the chance or the time to come back to South.
But it’s the other way round in the present generation actresses. Established south heroines like Simran, Ramya Krishna, Asin, Shriya, Trisha, Genelia etc are now looking to get through in to the bollywood industry and trying their luck. Already old actresses of south such as Simran, Nagma, Soundarya, Ramya Krishnan and many others who had tried their luck of dice in bollywood, thankfully returned to kollywood without having enough success fuel there.
At the present moment, the latest actress Asin who has done many films in Tamil like M. Kumaran son of Mahalakshmi, Ullam Ketkumae, Ghajini, Majaa, Sivakasi Varalaru, Aalwar, Pokkiri, Vel, Dasavathaaram opposite big stars and set a star image has shifted her face to bollywood with ‘Ghajini’ which takes her image to overseas in the industry with one film. But as her success mark vanished like fog in no time there is looking to get back to Tamil again. But she has no offers coming her away back in Tamil. The question is have we seen the last of Asin in an original Tamil movie? Hope not. Hardly had she got an offer to act opposite Vijay in ‘Kaaval Kadhal’ at present.
On the other hand, the beautiful actress Shriya who had established star image with in short span in south acting in many hit films such as Mazhai, Thiruvilayadal Arambam, Sivaji, Azhagiya Tamil Magan, Indiralohathil Na Azhagappan, Thoranai, Kanthaswamy, Kutty, Jaggubhai has gone to bollywood to prove her luck and has done few Hindi movies like Thoda Tum Badlo Thoda Hum, Tujhe Meri Kasam, Awaarapan, Mission Istanbul. Even the crazy heroine who has managed herself to get top image in south could not make over image in north and trying to get back her past image in south again. But it is heard that she has no big offers in her hand like before except one or two at present.
Another heroine who has fallen in the same bracket is Trisha who is also making her debut with the film ‘Khatta Meeta’ in bollywood opposite Akshay Kumar and trying to make a mark over there. Let’s see what her fate is going to be! But we can say that Trisha has gone her past image in the south where she had plenty of films in her hand at that time but not now. Except doing a film ‘Manmadhan Ambu’ opposite Kamal she has no films in her hand right now at this moment in Tamil.
Likewise Shruthi Haasan, Lakshmi Rai, Anushka and some other heroines are also falling in the same bracket of migrating to bollywood in parallel to acting in Tamil films. So, it is to be said that many south industry actresses are shifting into bollywood industry and cannot make their mark over there and even loosing their established image over here from the past by loosing chances in the films. So the southern directors and producers are hailing the Mumbai girls for the south films and crave for them and do not mind paying any amount of money to sign them for their movies in spite of abundance of talent in South India. Have a look on this and make analyze yourselves and can give out your best opinions about this.
