Few opportunities for Telugus in Tollywood

Actress Eesha Rebba is looking forward to her upcoming film Ragala 24 Gantallo, in which she is playing the female lead. “It’s a suspense thriller with plenty of scope to perform,” says Eesha.

As for the recently released trailer which shows the actress in a glamorous avatar, she unabashedly admits, “Yes, I look glamorous in this film.” Even on Instagram, the actress is a big hit with her glamorous pictures in different outfits. “I am always hot,” she says with a smile.

A Telugu girl, Eesha admits to being typecast in stereotyped or traditional roles. “But I like to wear different clothes, so I post them on Instagram,” she says, adding that for a Telugu girl, there are very few opportunities. “Many filmmakers show a non-local girl as a traditional girl, so why can’t they portray a Telugu girl in a modern role? Telugu girls are always shown in more traditional roles,” she says, admitting that it is a bit of a struggle sometimes.

Interestingly, the actress is also doing the Telugu version of Lust Stories. “It’s not really a remake of the Hindi series. In fact, it has a different story and different director too. The Hindi film was of course, a big hit and Netflix is a big platform, so I accepted it,” says Eesha, who will star alongside actors such as Avasarala, Ashima and Satya Dev.  Meanwhile, she has also signed a Kannada film and a Tamil film opposite G.V. Prakash.
