Ravi Tejas old comments on the importance of heroines

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja recently had a release in the form of Mr Bachchan. The film is the official remake of Hindi film Raid. Ravi Teja and Bhagyashree Borse played the lead roles in the film and the entire film group was criticised for presenting the leading lady as just a glamour actress. In this context, Ravi Teja's old comments are going viral on social media.

During Ravanasura's promotion, Ravi Teja mentioned that he was against the notion that heroines in films were only there for glamour. He stressed that he would ensure that they were an integral part of the film and played a strong character.

“If you look at my films, the heroine is not there just for the sake of it because I don't want her just for the songs and the commercial factor. The film is good only if the heroines play strong characters,” said Ravi Teja.

Cut to present day: The last time Ravi Teja's film had a strong heroine was in Krack. Shruti Haasan's role helps the story and she plays a crucial role in it. After Krack, Ravi Teja acted in half a dozen films and in all those films the heroine does not add any importance to the story.

Especially in films like Dhamaka, Tiger Nageswara Rao and the recently released Mr Bachchan, the heroines are only playing songs and the commercial factor. Many fans of Ravi are really upset with the poor choice of scripts and are writing open letters to him to focus on content-oriented films.
