That is when I realised that when hard work meets opportunity and luck blesses, there is no limit to ambition." "I have aspired to become a hero since the time I got the opportunity and when everything gets combined, the evasive goal is easy to reach", said Ganesh. "To become a hero, you need to become an actor first. I realised it after the television show Comedy Time, and as a supporting actor.

Golden year for small films
2016 till now had taught Tollywood a valuable lesson. Content is the king. If the film boasts good content, even small films will get huge response. Even star heroes won't be spared if their films lack content. Films like 'Brahmotsavam', 'Dictator' and 'Sardaar' proved this. But, 2016 became a golden year for small budget films. Sharwanad's 'Express Raja' became a hit in spite of having heavy competition with star heroes. Nani scored two super hits with 'Krishnagaadi Veera Prema Gaadha' and 'Gentleman' because of the strong content. Adivi Sesh's 'kshanam' which was a thriller became a blockbuster. Dubbing films 'Bichagaadu' too scored big in Telugu for its unique story. Even Trivikram's 'A Aa' collected over 50 crores. But, this year's surprise package was '#pellichoopulu' which entertained the audience so much that even after 5 weeks of its release, it is running with packed houses. Even 'Manamantha' got good response from the audience. Now, Avasarala Srinivas's 'Jyo Achyutananda' too opened to positive reviews and will be a sure shot hit. It is good to see people encouraging small films as they bring in the fresh talents to industry and it boosts the confidence of many aspiring film makers.
Golden Chance for Tamanna
It's been a while since a Tamanna-starrer film done really well at the Box Office. Barring Baahubali which went on to become one of the top-grossing Indian films, Tam's previous films have failed to meet the expectations and were declared as Box Office failures. As she is now prepping up for the release of her next Abhinetri (Tu Tuk Tu Tuk Tutiya in Hindi), a horror comedy which also stars Prabhudheva, all eyes of film fraternity are on the film. With Kajal not so happening and Samantha gearing up to enter into wedlock next year, the film industry is having a great dearth of good heroines, talented actresses who can fill in the spot. Since Tamanna is blessed with glamour and acting prowess, it is really a golden chance for her to bounce back once again in the multi-lingual film.But one has to wait and see how Abhinetri would fare at the ticket windows and how far the film would actually overturn the fate of Tammu. Since hardly any buzz surrounding the film coupled with poor promotions, looks like, it's a distant dream for Tammu to be back with a bang.
