Most of the time the Brahmin look and the Telangana slang was misused and ridiculed in the Tollywood films. It was used mainly to generate fun. The brahmin community and also the Telangana people objected to this kind of potrayal by the directors. Some of the shots were also edited.
But after the formation of Telangana the situation has changed. The Telangana slang is respected and people are liking it. The Chary role done by NTR was also liked and it was fun with comedy for the hero.
Now the spot light on DJ, that too from the stylish star Allu Arjun. After the first look of Allu Arjun’s Duvvada Jagannadham was released, some sections of the media reported it to be controversial. Directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Dil Raju, the film revolves around a Brahmin boy’s life who finally becomes a police officer.
“There are no jokes or derogatory comments on Brahmins in the film. Director Harish Shankar, who is a Brahmin himself, is very proud of his community,” says a source from the unit.
In the past, a few filmmakers targeted Brahmins in their films and faced flack. Since then, the community has kept a keen eye on such films. “DJ is the answer to those who mock the community,” added the source.
For this film it is learnt that Allu Arjun has turned vegetarian for this role. “For the last six months, Allu hasn’t eaten meat. He is taking the role seriously”.
