In recent times, the film industry has witnessed a shift in focus from star power to compelling storytelling. This shift has elevated even lesser-known actors to newfound fame, as the quality of the narrative takes precedence over the stature of the lead. A striking example of this phenomenon is evident in the success of the recent release, HanuMan.
Teja Sajja, the emerging PAN India actor, has garnered significant attention following the massive success of HanuMan. Surpassing established names like Prabhas, Mahesh, and Ilayathalapathi Vijay, Teja has become the most searched South Indian celebrity on Wikipedia in the initial month of this year.
Traditionally, after achieving such monumental success, top-tier actors command substantial fees ranging from 70 to 100 crores, with even second-tier actors demanding fees exceeding 10 crores.
Considering the records broken by Teja and the widespread popularity he has achieved globally, a justifiable increase in his asking price seems imminent. This holds true especially if he continues to deliver films with a nationwide appeal.
Teja’s approach to script selection has been meticulous, and his amiable demeanor has resonated well with audiences. The future trajectory of his career remains uncertain, but there is anticipation regarding whether he will maintain the same thoughtful approach in selecting projects and what he has in store for his upcoming ventures. The audience eagerly awaits Teja’s next moves, curious to see if he can sustain and build upon the success he has attained with HanuMan.
