In the late 1990s and early 2000s, most Telugu movies were set in Rayalaseema, and many of them became huge successes.But over time, the faction genre became too common, so filmmakers started moving away from the slang and setting.
After a long time, the Rayalaseema setting is coming back, and now it's a key part of many main characters.
For example, Samantha's blockbuster movie Maa Inti Bangaaram and Akhil's recent hit Lenin both used the Rayalaseema dialect.
The main characters in both films used the slang well, and the audience really loved it.
Interestingly, this dialect will also be a big part of Anil Ravipudi's upcoming movie starring Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram.
The comedy film is set in Rayalaseema, and the makers are expected to make a lot of fun out of this setting.
Knowing Anil Ravipudi, he will likely use the dialect in a funny way to create good comedy.
Whether in serious dramas or comedies, the Rayalaseema slang is making a big comeback and is helping main characters stand out in recent films.
It's still unclear what kind of movies will be made with this setting and dialect in the future.
