Tollywood writers under a lot of pressure

Lakshmi Bhoopal’s latest film Pratighatana marks a decade of his career as a film dialogue writer. On this occasion, Bhoopal came out of his shell and talked about dialogue writing as well as the changing trend of movies these days.

As a writer, Bhoopal feels that the most important part is to come up with a good story point. He feels that the stories often remain the same; it is emotion that is dealt with in the subject matter that decides the fate of the film. Ultimately, it is the perspective that matters! This puts the writers under a lot of pressure since it is not easy trying to come up with something new.

Additionally, Bhoopal feels as though as the movie genre is continually changing. Earlier people preferred real life characters, but these days heroes are in popular demand. This has led to entertainment based movies.
