Kiran Abbavaram rues Telugu heroes not getting screens in TN like Pradeep Ranganathan does in AP, TG: ‘Want love too’

Kiran Abbavaram's K Ramp and Pradeep Ranganathan's Dude will clash in theatres later this month. The Telugu actor rued about the state of affairs in TN.

Telugu actor Kiran Abbavaram lamented the fact that Telugu actors don’t receive the same level of love in Tamil Nadu that Tamil and other language actors do in Telugu states. In an interview with Galatta Plus, Kiran compared the release of his upcoming film K Ramp in TN to Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude in Telugu states and said this.

Kiran Abbavaram says no young Telugu actor has market in Tamil

Kiran Abbavaram compared not getting theatres for K Ramp in Tamil Nadu to Pradeep Ranganathan easily getting them for Dude in Telugu states.

Kiran stated in the interview that he recently watched Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra in theatres, and it was running houseful in Hyderabad even in the second week. Talking about Telugu films not receiving the same kind of attention in other states, particularly in TN, he said, “My only concern is that even Telugu heroes are making good content. But it’s not rolling there like how we are watching. People say it will be watched if the content is great. But young Telugu heroes are also making great content. Almost ten Tamil heroes have a prominent market in Telugu now. No young Telugu hero has the same in Tamil.”

Says Pradeep Ranganathan doesn’t have to struggle for screens in Telugu states
