Talented actress Nithya Menen, who has slowed down on signing Telugu films (Janatha Garage is her last one), has made some endearing comments on Tollywood.

When asked about how she found success in a male-dominated Tollywood, Nithya said with a straight face that Telugu film industry is one of the most comfortable places to work as a woman. “In fact, it is slightly more difficult in other places,” she said.

“I agree that Tollywood produces more mass films but people here are very nice and welcoming. Yes, I had to reject a few commercial films and was labeled ‘headstrong’ on occasions but Tollywood has also provided me with opportunities to prove myself,” added Nithya.

Recently, Rakul Preet Singh has also made similar comments when asked about Tollywood. The opinion of actresses like Rakul and Nithya who have done handful of Telugu films count but not of actors like Radhika Apte, who had earlier made scathing comments against Tollywood after acting in just two films.
