'Super Hero' for Teja Sajja is Tollywood's latest silly invention

The Telugu film industry is notorious for bombast and hyperbole. Our filmmakers, actors and directors can speak endlessly in interviews and at events. And no time is ever lost in endowing actors with all sorts of unwittingly funny monikers. Sudheer Babu is called Nitro Star, Siddu Jonnalagadda came to be known as Star Boy after just one hit, and Vijay Deverakonda actually believes that 'THE' before his name proves he is humble!

And now, a one-hit hero has been called 'Super Hero'. We are talking about Teja Sajja. You are wrong if you think the moniker actually refers to his characters in 'HanuMan' and his upcoming movie with People Media Factory. In promotional materials, the prefix was used even before the release of 'HanuMan'. In any case, it looks silly to call someone a 'Super Hero' just because he played one or two super-hero characters. If someone plays a depressed lover in two movies, you don't call him 'Depressed Star'.

There was a time when stars used to think a hundred times before giving titles to themselves. In the 2000s, many mocked titles like 'Mega Power Star' and 'Stylish Star'.
