Anil Kapoor to make a much-needed comeback to Telugu cinema: Reports

Anil Kapoor, one of the most famous actors in Indian movies, is supposedly going back to Telugu movies after being away for a long time. Kapoor has starred in some of the biggest Hindi films and is known for being able to change with the times. People say that he is in talks to play a big role in filmmaker Venky Atluri's upcoming movie, which would star Suriya.

As per an article published in 123Telugu, there are rumors that Venky Atluri recently asked the experienced actor to play a key role in telling his story that moves the storyline further. If stories are to be believed, Anil Kapoor gave his consent in principle after being very impressed by the performance. Even though there hasn't been an official announcement yet, fans of Telugu and Hindi movies are already enthusiastic.

Telugu audiences know Anil Kapoor, which is surprising. He made his first movie, Bapu's Vamsa Vruksham, in 1980, long before he became famous all over India. The fact that he is finally coming back to Telugu cinema, especially in a movie with Suriya, makes the story much more exciting.

Venky Atluri has built a name for himself by making movies like Sir and Tholi Prema that mix commercial storytelling with strong emotions. Anil Kapoor's presence in this environment not only boosts the movie's prestige, but it also offers a unique alliance between two industries.

Also, it is said that he was approached for Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s project as well but as of now, there is no official confirmation yet on the same. If the contract goes through, this film might mark the beginning of Anil Kapoor's return to South Indian cinema. It's one of the most talked-about casting selections in recent years. Many Bollywood actors, in the recent times, have ended up coming as villains in Tollywood. Let’s wait and see what does Anil have to offer.
