The film industry and politics frequently intersect, and some cinema personalities are now active in politics, most notably JanaSena’s Pawan Kalyan. The focus is now on Telangana politics, where an intriguing media report has emerged.
According to reports, the Telangana Congress aims to woo the Tollywood community ahead of the 2023 Telangana elections. Their strategy involves offering MLA tickets to Tollywood personalities, seeking to leverage their glamour and crowd-pulling abilities. Furthermore, the party is reportedly considering promising these actors cabinet berths as incentives to secure their support.
In addition, there are speculations that the T Congress might entice Tollywood cine workers by offering house plots in Hyderabad as part of their electoral promises. The Congress Party is making efforts to gain support from the Telugu industry for the upcoming election.
Whether this strategy will work or not is still uncertain. Tollywood’s involvement in politics is not uncommon, but the success of this approach depends on factors such as the candidates’ appeal and the credibility of their promises. Ultimately, the results of the 2023 Telangana elections will reveal whether Tollywood personalities and cine workers align with the Congress party to build their political platform. The wait for this outcome won’t be long.
