In trivikram Srinivas's directorial ventures, securing a role as the lead heroine is often considered a significant opportunity for actresses in the industry. However, when it comes to playing the second lead or supporting roles in his films, the scenario tends to be less favorable. This trend is especially evident in Trivikram's latest release, "Guntur Karam," which hit screens recently.Meenakshi Choudhary, cast as the second heroine in Mahesh Babu's "Guntur Karam," portrays the role of the hero's sister-in-law. Despite the anticipation from the audience for Meenakshi to have substantial scenes and perhaps a song, her character appears to have only one or two scenes that fail to make a lasting impact. This pattern of assigning heroines to side roles is not unique to Meenakshi but has been observed in previous trivikram films as well.
Actresses like Esha Rebba in "Aravinda Sametha" and Niveda Pethuraj in "Ala Vaikunthapuramulo" also found themselves in similar situations, playing second fiddle as heroines in supporting roles. Trivikram's tendency to incorporate heroines into smaller roles, often limiting their screen time and impact, has garnered criticism. The audience expresses disappointment over these instances, emphasizing that actresses should carefully consider such roles in Trivikram's films as they may not contribute positively to their careers.
While Srileela takes on the main heroine role in "Guntur Karam," audience responses suggest that her character did not meet expectations. Additionally, the feedback regarding Meenakshi's role is particularly critical, with viewers expressing a preference for trivikram to reconsider casting heroines in smaller roles, as it may not contribute significantly to their careers.
