How do you know that an actor/actress is out of work? Of course, if you are a regular cinegoer, it would be easy to discern because they fade away from the screen right in front of your eyes or relegate themselves to itsy-bitsy roles. But, even if you are not a cinephile, it is easy to make out from the statements they make to the journalists. Look for example, Charmi. Everyone knows that Charmi has been swept away by the onslaught of the new heroines that have entered Tollywood. But she will make us believe that she is flooded with offers, and that she is taking her time to select 'good' roles. Remember the emphasis here is on 'good' roles and 'quality' work. Recently, when a scribe interviewed her, for no other reason than she was available, she said: "I want to do quality work." But what quality work were you doing all along, Charmi? You mean to say that singing with heroes like Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Balakrishna, around the trees and bushes in exotic locales quality work? And she also says: "I'll do films at my own pace." We agree to the second part, Ms Charmi. Because the pace at which filmmakers are approaching you can be compared to that of a mule's or a donkey's. The days of producers lining up at your front door are over. And stop conning to people. I know, I know, you are not the only one to say that. I've read about Tabu too. She too made the same statement recently. "I want to do good cinema." The point I want to make here is: How come you talk about 'good' cinema and 'quality' cinema only when you are out of work? What happens to it when you are at the peak of your career? Doesn't good cinema interest you? Are are you only interested in counting the big bucks you get acting opposite big actors? We know your plight and we sympathise with you, but stop from making statements like this. Silence is the best solution. Understand?
