Another Telugu actor who has already made his debut in Hindi is Rana Daggubati. His "Dum Maro Dum" did not do well at the box office, but he made his presence felt in the movie. The actor is now part of a multi-star cast in a Tamil film tentatively titled "Valai" alongside Ajith, Arya and Nayantara.
Top actresses including Anushka Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, Hansika Motwani and Shruti Haasan began their film careers with Telugu films. Now, they are among the most sought-after actresses in both Tamil and Telugu film industries. These actresses have managed to entertain the audience by starring in big budget and big hero films.
