Malayalam actors have always viewed the Telugu film industry with a distance. Even though many Mollywood actors have made a mark in the Tamil industry, it has been difficult for them to create a foothold in the Telugu film industry.
Interestingly, Telugu-dubbed versions of Malayalam films have enjoyed great success in Tollywood. Actors like Suresh Gopi became much more popular among the Telugu crowd through the Telugu-dubbed versions of his action films, which went on to become a big success.
