Openletter to Allu Arjun

Dear Arjun,

I am a fan of movies in general and not a fan of any particular hero. After having heard about your dedicatedness and scrupulousness from Chiru's speech I thought of suggesting you a few things.

First of all a lover boy image can fetch you hits but it makes it difficult for you to get to top. If you see from the past it is the mass hero who ruled the roost. It was NTR (between ANR, NTR), Krishna (between Krishna, Sobhanbabu), Chiru (between Chiru and Venkatesh). Believe me it is not important whether you have the mass look or the class look. What matters is the kind of fan base you inherit. It is important to concentrate on how chiru fans want to see you at least initially.

In fact the best person you can follow is Pawan Kalyan. He used Chiru's name only in the first few movies and created his own image later. He started with love movies and is now moving towards the mass roles.

Your greatest asset is your dancing ability. I stood in awe after watching your steps in Daddy. Don't concentrate on routine steps. Concentrate on steps that can bring repeated audience. Something like what Chiru does, what Govinda does.

Regarding selecting a movie, taking is as important as story. If you take recent hits, none of them has a great story. Take any recent hit SSR, NN, Indra, Aadhi, Idiot, Kushi. It is excellent screenplay coupled with wonderful mass scenes that did the wonder. Stories like Nuvve Kaavali are rare, don't keep looking for them.

Acting: It is always better to do a little overplay than to worry about not doing it. Whatever you do it is important to get audience familiar with you. Hence Overplay never hurts in fact it helps.

BTW the audio is good

Wishing you all success,

satish
