In the anime series 'Code Geass', one of the main characters, Lelouch, moves the king piece along with the others, instead of keeping him in the sidelines while his subordinates scheme and kill each other. "If the king does not lead, who else will," he would say. A valid idea, although no body in the 3-dimensional world follows it.
Taking Tollywood as an example, and also assuming that the person with the big bucks and big connections is the king/queen, they are usually last ones to lead a change. The so-called four powerful families of our Telugu industry lie in silence while the rest of the world is keen reaching out to new visual methods of storytelling and also new stories to tell.
But for obvious reasons, the reasons for disappointment are obvious. Fine, you are rich, you have grown tall and strong and now can not afford to get hacked down because they are too many people dependent on you. Or maybe, rich people are just plain lazy.
But what happened to the so-called beacons of future Telugu cinema. Not just the directors but also the artistes.
