Mahesh and allu arjun are the only exciting actors in this list who has their own style.even though prabhas has it but lost after baahubali2 if he gets back in form iam sure these 3 will rule the next decade of pan indian films...

Outsiders saying NANI ,what a recognisation but sadly NANI is not a STAR ,many good movies became flop because distributors couldn't get profits ....hope Nani's fate changes......NOTE: TELUGU people love our heroes to do commercial movies with action ,fights, comedy just to enjoy in theatre ,if star heroes makes veriety film it becomes flop because it can't match their expectation
I am a bit surprised that you haven't mentioned Nani's Bheemli Kabaddi Jattu and Ala Modalaindi which proved his natural ability to pull of as real as it gets.
@@ajeeb7618the question isn't "who has biggest audience and fan following? " The question is who's more versatile One doesn't need multiple 100cr movies for people to know how good he can act
@zylith93 - Nani cannot pull off huge box office succeses right now, that's why he is not even in the race with the tier 1 heroes. Right now, he has only 2 tricks upon his sleeve, sad emotions and comedy. I agree that he did a great job in many films but If you observe those films keenly, they are mostly a combination of comedy and emotion. I liked Nani's decison about changing his routine and try some action and language/body tranformation in Dasara. He would be in the box office race with the others if he also can try to pull off the enitre navarasa, which automatically pulls more people into theatres to watch his films.
@@TheRishijoesanuI don't agree with u bro.. all of them having capability to act in any rolls.. but due to their restrictions they are not able to do😂😂😂
Nani! Is the only one who doesn't take his fandom for granted! Please watch his interviews to know that about him and his relationship with his fans and the newcomer directors and story writers of the Industry. He's the only guy who never repeats his roles more than once and he only works with debutant directors and story tellers only!
I just saw Shyam Singha Roy yesterday. I was blown away by Nani and Sai Pallavi. Such a great movie. Nani has done Tamil movies as well so as a Tamilian I already knew of him.
Mahesh before 2015 was a beast. Being a mainstream commercial actor he was the one who took new risks. In span of 5 years from 2010-2016 he gave Khaleja, Dookudu, Businessman, Svsc, 1NENNOKIDENE b2b.
I have to say the problem with Mahesh babu's repeated projects were coz of fans who once flopped all those gem of a films like 1,Khaleja and now are asking him to make those type of movies coz all the stars are going pan india😂like look at the hypocrisy....anyway i have to say as a pure MB fan from many years i have seen him through his high and low and i am sure with this rajamouli's venture he will shine throughout the country but still for me he will be our parthu from athadu and pandu from pokiri coz his range is impeccable 🫶and he will remove the tag of same old boring story star from his name ✨
The best review ever. Coming from a true tollywood movie lover..... Only question I have for Nani is that"How the hell does he finds the best debut director"
Obviously Nani, he has more credibility as an capable actor not only inside AP but also in other states and he is one of the very few who could accept constructive criticism and make amends instead of trashing critics ❤
Nani is not yet an a lister yet and also he doesn't listen to critiques he tries new still which sometimes works quite well like jersey, dasara. But movies like mca, nenu local, tuck jagadish are extremely routine, and also his hi nanna was technically bad but it was decent.
@suryavalluri3894 Nenu Local is a good entertainer buddy, comedy scenes in Nenu Local are hard to pull off because they're are not situation dependent, they are mostly dependent on hero's comedy timing and Nani just excelled in it, though the story is routine the acting requires skill and versatility... if it is released now it would have been celebrated like premalu and love today
I'm happy that u appreciate how well versed Nani is in his craft. Not many people recognise him. I was hooked to him ever since eega.. with only just 10min of screen time, his acting and performance led me to explore his previous films and be stoked about his next movies as well. Such a fab man he is 👍🔥
Prabhas is now too big of a star and he may never do another Mirchi or Mr Perfect but his comic timing is amazing in those films. I really wish he will express himself freely again and indulge in few projects like that. Also I kinda miss him dancing on peppy tunes. I hope we get to see that again.
You'll get that in Raja Saab. It's risky though, considering Maruthi is the director. I hope it doesn't end like Radhe Shyam. After Kalki and Raja Saab, His next is Vanga's "Spirit"
@@jayesh5131 I’m not sure how Raja Saab will be tbh. If it doesn’t succeed then we’ll never see something like that again. Anyway Kalki will have sequels, Salaar 2 will come and Spirit by vanga. The “darling” Prabhas might never come back 😔
@@user-wj2ep1tw1y Bro we will get Darling back if Raja Saab works! But that's a big "If" 🥺 Experience less directors did make a hole in his career, whether it's Saaho,Radhe Shyam or Adipurush 🥲 That's why I'm concerned about Raja Saab considering Maruthi's last two films were flops!
@@jayesh5131 After Kalki 2898 AD And Raja Saab It Will Be Salaar 2 And Then It Will Be Vanga's Spirit Which Is Slated To Be Released In Early 2026 While Salaar 2 Will Be Released Between Spring To Summer Of 2025.
NANI NO DOUBT❤❤❤❤ It's high time that he must be appreciated with a National Award (It killed me when he didn't win for Jersey... The railway station scene still gives me ghoosebumps) Each and every performance of his boasts of his versatility and dedication towards the craft.❤❤❤❤
For me, Its NTR and nani... Both are great in their respective roles in each movie. I was in awe for NTR's acting in the movie "Aravindha Sametha" directed by Trivikram.
@@jayesh5131Honestly, I could care less if Khaleja is a flop, because it’s a movie that only few could actually take in and appreciate, making it a cult classic. It’s one of trivikram’s finest works. At least IMHO.
Actually Mahesh Babu attempted many different genres and most of them failed in his early stages of film career. Then he took on worked out formulas and getting block busters. Once in a while he picks up different story lines but box office success is hot and cold. Right now only NTR and Nani can do good justice to diversified plotlines
@@A7_627You should watch some of his old films which are actually god like Rudraveena, Swayamkrushi, Aapadbandhavudu,Gang Leader. He is seriously a good actor. Most of his recent films are a joke tbh. But his earlier films were so good.
Definitely it's Nani bro. I am a Bengali born n brought up in Mumbai watching south Indian movies. I am just in awe with the versatile role Nani has done.
Mahesh Babu - Takkari Donga Prabhas - Darling Different characters for both actors. In Takkari Donga, MB plays a cowboy, in darling he is a romantic hero..no mass(or less)
Nani & jr NTR possess the range but jr NTR won't be able to try riskier genres due to his huge fanbase and numbers included. Plus i thought u'll add 'Orange' when you spoke about Ram Charan cause that's another of his great acting performances.
Prabhas chakram movie, even he made Tamil movie remake yogi in which you can find his script selection. Om raut from Bollywood really spoiled his film career
I'm not from the Telugu states and I only have a limited knowledge about these actors but from what I have seen so far from that industry, The most versatile actor currently would be NANI❤ He's the best actor in that industry right now but still underrated for obvious reasons I think.😂
Thanks a lot Jammy finally someone understands that Mahesh is actually pretty damn good. But yeah his recent films have been very underwhelming and for god sake he has to start experimenting again.
Prabhas ( darling ( love), bujjigadu ( oora mass ) ,mr perfect ( family entertainment) , baahubali ( larger than role),yogi (mother sentiment & climax 😢)billa( stylish don ),munna( youthful )& few more different characters different genres, prabhas synonym of versatile
Your words about Nani is 100% true jammy and the one quality he has compared to other actors you mentioned is Nani also produced movies which none did. He backed projects like AWE, D for Dopidi & HIT franchise. He's encouraging new talents. Also i'd suggest you to watch Mahesh's KHALEJA (for its story telling and his acting) & Allu Arjjun's VEDAM (for his performance) because those projects never worked financially these actors stopped taking risks & focused only on commercial movies. those were the good old days of telugu cinema.
You should watch darling ,varsham(remade as baaghi in Bollywood) and bujjigaadu to see the acting range of prabhas beyond the cutout personality just saying
Yes exactly..prabhas didn’t become famous in Telugu states because of Bahubali…there is a reason he was so loved before that movie. His old movies>>>>>>
You left out mahesh babu's S.V.S.C, at the time of the movie's release, mahesh babu was already a big action star with films like pokiri and business man, but he still decided to do a family drama instead of doing a routine action movie, he would have done more films in the same genre, if not for the disaster that is brahmotsavam
the charm and screen presence mahesh babu had during his vintage phase in movies like murari ,okkadu ,athadu ,pokiri, businessman,khaleja is unmatchable . No star can give you that exhilarating feeling in theatres like mahesh does just with his body language , mannerisms and dialogue delivery . mahesh Babu screen Presence >>>>>>> .
@@TriedRefusedProductions ahh you missed khaleja out of all MB's performances, he plays a taxi driver with the perfect mannerisms and imo his best comedy timing till date. If we are talking about versatility, Khaleja is a must in the list, Prabhas: Mr.perfect, where he plays a character who is more practical, cares less for emotions, Darling:Chocolateboy comedy, NTR: YOu gotta watch ADHURS, trust me on this one, im not gonna say anything, just watch the damn film already!!!! btw Nani fan here.
this was something that i wanted to see....everyone talks abt maheshs okkadu , pokiri..but no one recognises films like nani and nijam which were absolute gamble for any actor in any industry during their time of release...and buisnessman is a movie way ahead of its time .... the character of surya bhai is on par with the present day iconic charaters like pushpa and rocky with much deeper writing involved
No one does because all of them thinks that he is an expression less actor . Also this statement was passed by some tamil actor and vikram talked about it in some promotions and everyone started using it to degrade him .
Allu arjun is my favorite actor in south industry . Hes like an allroundr undeniable charm and charisma. But yeah nani is the most versatile actor in telugu industry . He deserves more respect.
But to be honest after bahubali all his movie were very bad...even salar(not talking about box office collection) but there is nothing new same story copy paste, over glorification and over the top action
@@Aditya_65318I think sahoo and salar are good , only radheshyam and aadipurush are bad . He do experiment with different genres tho . Not sticking to masala movies with item songs , he is rather doing a decent work . His physique and his dialogue delivery changed after bahubali so I hope that changes back to normal . No hate brother . Have a nice day . Peace🙏
prabhas is also a versatile actor if u want to know his versatileness ser his varsham which he is the lover boy he us given a work to save his girl from villain who is madly in love with her,and raghavendra how the rageous boy becomes like saint,and chakram it is one of my favourite film of prabhas anna which will be like kal ho naho ,and if u want to see his comedy and experimental films watch his bujjigadu,darling,mr perfect and if u want to see his mass roles see his chatrapathi ,mirchi,rebel etc,and he did one more film called pournami that story has very uniqueness its based on dance subject he is agreat performer but before people did not recognise his versatileness because of his action shade thats wise prabhas is the mass hero of telugu film industry but he likes to take risks thats wise he did movies with the devut directors like sujeeth,radha krishna,and that shit person om ,but he is the only person you accept or dont he only changed tfi with his film called bahubali and people say him lottery star why i dont know he gave his life to that film 5 years its not a joke for a commercial hero the bahubali became hit thatswise people are saying him lottery or if the movie would become flop their would be a falldown for his life he tried and gave the pan indian platform to everyone i am proud to say that i am his die hard fan until my last breath jai rebel star🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a fan of mb I too didn't liked his recent 2 films but he is the first actor to do versatile films and take risks nani nijam nenokkadine Khaleja shows what a extraordinary actor he is but people are too busy in judging his recent films
That and honestly people are too quick to judge him. Yeah, I’m sure there are more “expressive” actors out there, but in terms of experimenting and remotely appropriate improvements, One Nenokkadine, Khaleja, Arjun, Pokiri, etc. have been definitive proofs of him actually acting anything worth a damn. His recent two films may have been “eh”, but the man has had his share of good, mediocre, and not so good films just like any actor would have. If anything, seeing SS Rajamouli’s upcoming project with MB (Codenamed #SSMB29) seems really promising and Rajamouli has a track record of serving and delivering on emotions and entertainment, so I have enough trust that I feel both SSR and MB won’t disappoint.
@@rahulmandala4930Stars too Have Bad Phase Now Mahesh is in Bad Phase when it's come to script selection at the time of 2000s he is just crazy actor and gave us many experimental films but not this time May be the only last hope SSR film and it hits on different Genre Forest Adventure Thriller Eagerly Waiting For This Because its his 1st pan Indian Film and SSR Best After RRR
Nani ,Ram charan and Allu arjun are looking for versatility in scripts .Ram charan's Rangasthalam was something out of the box!!! .Allu arjun' Pushpa has same commercial elements of a typical telugu movie but varied in the way of presentation. Nani is always ahead of time in Telugu industry in terms of acting as well as selection of scripts.
To be honest none of the Telugu superstars are versatile. They keep doing the same stuff most of the time since they are treated as superhumans and the audience like to watch them doing the massy roles instead of doing something different everytime. I can only think of Nani who is atleast trying to do something different even though he's not like exceptional and all
you're applying the story telling standards to a business where demand for commercial cinema is high. they are good at business and are willing to focus on their target market therefore cant make them accountable for their acting since good stories aren't appreciated in telugu movies
@@imbatman1110Good films aren't appreciated in Telugu 🤡 , Meanwhile pelli choopulu , Swamy rara , Mahanati , Brochevarevura , Shyam Singh Roy , Hi Nanna , Awe , care of Kancharapalem , Raja Raja chora , HIT the first case , Goodachari , Agent Sai sreenivas Athreya , Rangastalam , Kanche , Ghazi etc etc were super hits at box office
Nani is such a humble and down to earth guy I met him at a school annual celebration day. His son and mine go to the same school. The kids wanted a selfie with him and he didn’t even hesitate to take selfies with them poor guy probably gave like 20 selfies that day. 😂
But Adivi Sesh is not versatile. He is more into cop and spy kind of roles and he nails it. But his experiments never worked even in acting stand point
@TriedRefusedProductions Well Allu Arjun mainly done commercial films but I think in Vedam(2010) movie it's shows Allu Arjun's versatility and his acting range. I think that you're gonna talk about Vedam also , I don't know you watch it or not, but if not you can give it a shot, I think you are gonna like it.
Nani is a versatile actor. He can blend into any genre and audience accept that . Ram Charan - His acting is restricted to only rangasthalam and RRR . It’s the poker face most of the time . I believe he is in this list only because he is Mega star’s son and RRR Prabhas has actually done a wide range of movies . Right from romance to action. But he is somewhat cursed post Bahubali . I hope Kalki breaks that Jr NTR - Undoubtedly the best performer in India I would say . But again his range of acting is restricted to mass commercial movies . He should actually try a romance genre to complete the circle . Eagerly waiting for the phase off of Hrithik and Jr. in war .
Unpopular opinion: I feel Nani is a versatile actor, but when it comes to acting, He is not up to the mark, the way he displays emotions seem very unnatural to me
Nani... Absolutely.... It took me some time to internalise the fact that Shyam Singh Roy and that rowdy guy from Dussara was even remotely the same person... So, ya
It's definitely Nani who is the most versatile tollywood actor...unlike other actors in tollywood who always stick to the angry young man potrayal....his movies stretch to many genres like rom coms, thriller -mystery,family, feel good, fictional...to be honest based on appearance he is average but he still holds a great screen presence
Def Nani. The other actors also have a lot of potential but it's clear that they chase after commercial scripts rather than the craft of their work. Nani brings a lot of new types of films into the cinema and thinks about the success of the Telugu industry as a whole instead of his own. He tries to work with new directors and produce diff types of films like Awe. He's an actor I know will deliver.
Nani seriously ?? Versatile actor vs NTR ,Allu ??? Making versatile movies and acting are different I really doesn’t agree Nani is versatile actor than Allu and NTR NTR 🔥 is ultimately born just for movies same with Allu ❤
Jr NTR is the most versatile and talented star actor in the Telugu film industry.His only drawback was his script selection, which has drastically improved after temper movie...
In current lot no star hero is versatile as they carry huge burden of expectations from fans.. Nani has no burden of financial expectations from fans thats why he is able to play some characters which arent for superstars coz he is not in the league of top stars..
Rana actually tried the most genres but his acting is still sub par - villain in myth fantasy in Bahubali, naval officer in Ghazi Attack, politician in NRNM & Leader, crazy jungli in Aranya, rich rowdy in Bheemla Nayak, naxal in Virata Parvam, drama artist in Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum, historical fiction as Rudramadevi, romantic films as Naa Ishtam and so on. He also acts in Hindi and Tamil films. He has had relative success as well, over 50% of his films are hits-blockbusters. In the current generation of actors, he is the most versatile. He is a clear winner, still has full range of available movies (can continue to do so for a long time) and shouldn't be excluded from the list.
An actor trying different genres is one thing and he or she should be applauded for that. However, an actor being able to oull off different characters is a whole different ball game.
