Several films are coming up in Bollywood with different stars working together for a film and multi-starrers are common in Hindi films these days.However, Tollywood is yet to rise to the occasion, as our heroes and their fans had their own ego to work together. During earlier days, several films came in the combination of NTR-Krishna, Krishna- Sobhanbabu, NTR-ANR, Krishnam Raju and others used to work together though they too maintained a huge fan following.Almost after 1990, real multi-starrer films disappeared from the Telugu screen.

However, our heroes claim that we are ready to work with any other hero, if any director comes up with suitable story.There was a gossip sometime ago that Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh would work for a film.They too accepted the offer because they maintain good friendship between each other.It was also gossiped that Srikanth Addala prepared the story and both the heroes reportedly impressed with the subject and gave a green signal to bring out the film. Dil Raju had come forward to produce the film too.However, the film failed to see light till date and both the heroes turned busy with their respective projects.When will Tollywood have a real multi-starrer?
