In Telugu film industry, only heroes sons get to take their fathers legacy ahead. Our heroes are not open minded in allowing their daughters to take up acting career. That is not the case in Bollywood and in Tamil film industry. Our heroes are against this only because of the fans. They don’t like to see their idol’s daughters dancing in skimpy outfits and donning glamorous roles.

But there is always a chance to play decent roles and pursue acting career without doing any damage to the father’s image. For instance Krishna’s fans didn’t like Manjula to act as heroine. Although she did a couple of films, Manjula never took it serious as she didn’t want to upset her father fans. Only Manchu Lakshmi has taken acting as a serious profession and is rising to higher levels with each film.

Lakshmi Manchu’s performance in her debut film itself was wonderful. She has won accolades for playing the role of evil queen Irendri in Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu.  Her stunning performance in Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara climax is getting rave reviews. She has Gundello Godari movie lined up for release in which she played the lead role. With Manchu Lakshmi’s success as an actress we could see more star daughters to shine on Telugu screen for sure. Kudos to Lakshmi for being a trendsetter.
