Few opportunities for Telugus in Tollywood

A Telugu girl, Eesha admits to being typecast in stereotyped or traditional roles.

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.
