One of the highly versatile artists in Telugu industry is Manchu Manoj. Besides acting, Manoj takes active interest in singing, writing lyrics and even choreographing stunts. It is wonderful of him to be multi-faceted, but in the process he is robbing the work off artists who have certain expertise in different departments.
In his upcoming film Potugadu, Manoj has written a song and has also lent his voice to it. In the film, Mr. Nookaya, he choreographed most stunt sequences without body doubles, putting his life in danger. I remember even Dasari had advised him in a recent function that he should concentrate only on acting and let others do their work.
In fact, this has become a trend in southern cinema of late. Even actors like Simbu and Dhanush are one of busiest singers in tinsel town. Even actors like Vishal and Vijay crooned in the recent films, while in Telugu actors such as Nikhil and many others are turning singers.
