In the past, titles for Tollywood heroes were hard-earned, reflecting their sustained success and fan adoration. Icons like Chiranjeevi evolved from being the Supreme Hero to the Megastar, with each title reflecting their achievements and industry respect. These titles were bestowed by fans, media, or industry peers, not self-assigned.
However, the trend has shifted in recent times. Modern heroes often adopt titles seemingly out of nowhere, raising questions about their origin and significance. For instance, Sudheer Babu recently started using the title "Nava Dalapathi," which has sparked a wave of trolling and curiosity. Before this, he was known as the "Nitro Star," a tag whose meaning and origin remain unclear.
When the title "Nava Dalapathi" appeared in the credits of his latest movie "Harom Hara," many fans were taken aback. The unexpected title change quickly became fodder for social media, with users poking fun and questioning its legitimacy. This trolling comes at a challenging time for Sudheer Babu, who has struggled to deliver consistent hits. His previous success, "Sammohanam," is now a distant memory, and "Harom Hara" has received mixed reviews, though slightly better than his recent films.
Despite the mixed reception, there is a sense of anticipation about how "Harom Hara" will perform at the box office. Comparatively, it has been better received than some of his other recent works, but only time will tell if it will achieve the commercial success Sudheer Babu desperately needs.
