Tollywood stands tall as one of the world’s largest film industries, not only in the number of films it produces but also in the intensity of admiration its stars receive. Fans often worship their favourite actors like demigods, giving rise to distinctive titles – the famous “tags” that precede their names and become part of their identity.
The reason this topic has come back into discussion is the recent Peddi promotions, where Ram Charan’s name appeared without the “Global Star” prefix. It seems he has decided to drop it and return to his long-standing tag – Mega Powerstar.
A similar move came from Ram Pothineni, who once carried the title Ustaad but has now reverted to his original and more fitting tag, Energetic Star.
Fans of both actors have welcomed these changes, appreciating the return to their authentic roots. Meanwhile, discussions have started about other Tollywood actors who continue to carry overblown or mismatched titles. Will they take inspiration from Charan and Ram, or continue to hold on to theirs? Only time will tell which star will be next to drop the tag.
