Vijay Deverakonda
Well, the Arjun Reddy has not had a clean hit since Taxiwaala in 2018. This was after the success of Geetha Govindam. After that, his films have fared badly at the box-office.

Ravi Teja
Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja had a string of flops before he bounced back with Krack. The film also had Shruti Haasan with him. Krack made more than Rs 50 crore at the box office and kind of redeemed his status. However, he needs to follow it up with more successes.
Nandamuri Balakrishna
The veteran actor also needs a hit. His last few films, Ruler and the NTR biopic made by Krish tanked at the box office. He has a film, #NBK106 and his latest was announced on the occasion of his birthday.
Nagarjuna
Nagarjuna’s last film Manmadhudu 2 tanked at the box office. It did not even recover even 50 per cent of the costs of production. His latest was Wild Dog that came on an OTT platform. It was a decent success. But he does need a hit at the cinema halls.
