Which Tollywood Star Hero Actor you really like

Whether we agree or not, we're biased when we say that we love, like, hate or dislike a Tollywood star. Some of the main reasons for this include the caste we belong to, the social circle we go/grew along with, our families' opinion, etc. What ever be the reason, we're constantly suppressing whom our mind really likes or filling it with hatred on someone by reasoning ourselves with these biases. Using self-driven emotions we coverup these biases and paint an honest picture to the outside world.

To know whom we would have really liked if we had not had these biases, let's do a small exercise. If you still think that you're not at all biased in any way, you can stop here.

It is simple. We do watch many Hollywood movies and we do have favorite Hollywood actors. Yes, it is not just one but multiple actors for many of us. Each actor has his own strengths and weaknesses. But since there are no biases (except social circle for some of us) like caste we tend to choose those that strike the cord.

There seem to be similar traits between these Hollywood actors and our Tollywood heroes. It may not be one-to-one similarity, except in a few cases, but noticeable factors in a combination of two or more Hollywood actors.

Look at the following list of Hollywood actors and note down the names of those whom you like the most. The matching of these actors with our stars is at the bottom of this post, so don't scroll to the bottom too quickly until you finish your selection.

So depending on who you've selected, the corresponding Tollywood stars are the ones you really like. Seeeeee, the actor you hated the most is in fact the one whose movies you would have liked to watch. In theaters of course.

Finally, the point we're trying to make is the following:

PLEASE GET RID OF YOUR BIASES AND SURELY GO TO THE THEATERS TO ENJOY THE MOVIES THAT GET POSITIVE TALK, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHICH ACTOR ACTED IN IT. HAVE FAVORITE ACTORS BUT PLEASE STOP HATING OTHER ACTORS FOR PETTY REASONS...

Telugu Cinema (Tollywood) Heroes Ranking by Generation



Note: Gen 3 ranking is an assumption looking at the fan following of each of those actors who belong to that generation.

Prime time of each generation:
Gen 1 1955 to 1985
Gen 1 to Gen 2 1965 to 1990
Gen 2 1985 to 2015~
Gen 2 to Gen 3 1995 to 2020~
Gen 3 2015 to 2045
2005 to 2035~
(due to entry of heroes into the industry in their early 20s and with following even before entry)

Note: Some of the actors who belong to one generation might have entered into the film industry when the prior generation was active or might continue for a couple of years into the next generation or might even fall short by a few years in their own generation, but the categorization shown above is the big picture considering the age and fan following of the actors.
Example: Chiranjeevi's entry into politics in 2008 had cut short his career by approx. 10 years. Else, he would have been holding his place until around 2015. But on the other hand, this became a blessing to actors in 'Gen 2 to Gen 3' like Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu, otherwise, they would have faced the same scenario between 2005 and 2015 that Krishna and Shoban Babu had to face between 1975 to 1985 during their peak time, with NTR and ANR as leaders of industry.
