Tollywood faces dearth of good actresses

Tollywood seems to be facing dearth of good actresses in the industry. Although, there is no scarcity of beautiful faces, but searching for a beautiful face that is expressive at the same time, requires strenuous efforts.

The Ala Modalaindi director, Nandini Reddy, confessed that she had to spend around six months, to finally find Malavika Nair, to play lead in her upcoming flick. She added, "I think all the right girls are in the wrong profession. There's a dearth of good talent... It's not that directors have become choosy all of a sudden... No wonder then that the average shelf life of an actress has fallen to less than three years these days".

There had been several cases where actresses had rejected films, as they feared of not getting a big launch. Although, some filmmakers had claimed, that there is no lack of opportunities for Telugu-speaking actresses, there are a few actresses who have entered into other industries because of lack of right opportunity. The list includes actresses like Swathi, Eesha, Bindu Madhavi, Sri Divya among others.
