Is this year turning out to be the year of senior heroes in Indian cinema? From Chiranjeevi scoring a strong start with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu to Ravi Teja’s Irumudi and Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, senior stars are making their presence felt at the box office.
Interestingly, choosing sensible subjects seems to be favouring these experienced actors, proving that their star power remains strong despite the arrival of younger heroes.
A star like Ravi Teja, who was going through back-to-back flops, chose content as a priority and did Irumudi, which turned the game in his favor big time.
Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 is another example of how senior stars can dominate the box office with the right commercial entertainer. The trend has certainly caught everyone’s attention.
