"Heroines are just glam dolls" says Top Director

If anyone has doubts on the statement that, Tollywood actresses are just glam dolls, then they should have a look at this.

Top director VV Vinayak has reacted to the criticism on using Tamanna, just to fill the glamour portion in the recently released magnum opus 'Badrinath'. The directed was not apprehensive is saying that they are hiring lead actresses just for songs, dance around the trees and play the hero’s love interest.

"We have been hiring lead actresses only for the songs and to fill the glamour portion. It's a fact that no one can rule out," says VV Vinayak.

It's very rare that an actress could get a performance oriented role in the Industry. Though Tollywood is a male-dominated industry, people expect few women centric films here and there. But, that's not happening.

There was a time when actresses used to be pivotal part of the script and were even paid more than the male actors. Sridevi is the best example for this, who went on to do powerful roles in commercial films. Let's hope that every actress would do atleast one performance oriented role in a year and atleast one women centric film in their career span.
