During the initial week of June, with the release of Peddi, many assumed that the film featuring Ram Charan would create a significant impact across India. While it indeed made waves at the Telugu box office, it sparked attention in India for another reason. Numerous Hindi media outlets, known for promoting actresses in glamorous, patriotic roles, criticized Janhvi’s showy presentation and director Buchi Babu Sana’s artistic choices. This led to a significant debate.

Interestingly, as the entire Tollywood faced heavy criticism for assigning predominantly glamour-driven roles to female actors, the industry had to endure backlash from self-proclaimed feminists. Consequently, Tollywood responded to Janhvi's performance in Peddi with strong female-oriented roles featuring actresses like Samantha in Maa Inti Bangaram, Bhagyashree Bhorse in Lenin, and Sai Gouripriya Reddy in Chennai Love Story. This certainly took many by surprise.

In Telugu cinema, it is common to see both glamorous roles and well-crafted, character-driven roles, but they don’t always appear simultaneously. At times, the focus is on glamorous parts, while at other times, significant characters take precedence. Many prominent actresses, such as Samantha from earlier and Bhagyashree currently, manage to juggle both types of roles. In any case, it appears that three heroines are helping to restore Tollywood’s reputation in light of the Janhvi debate.
