Zarina Wahab Shifts Focus to Telugu Films, Calls Bollywood 'Family-less'
5 Jan
Summary
- Zarina Wahab prioritizes Telugu cinema due to its family-oriented content.
- She feels Hindi films have lost their family appeal and connection.
- Wahab's upcoming film, 'The Raja Saab', releases on January 9, 2026.
Veteran actress Zarina Wahab has revealed a strategic shift in her acting career, now prioritizing projects within the Telugu film industry. With over 40 years in the entertainment business, Wahab, who hails from Andhra, possesses strong Telugu language skills, prompting her to pursue opportunities in the region's cinema.
Wahab explained her choice by contrasting the film industries, noting that Telugu cinema retains a strong focus on family-oriented narratives that resonate with audiences. She believes this aspect has diminished in Hindi films, leading her to find more fulfilling work in the South. Currently, she is involved in several other Telugu movie projects.
Despite this change, Wahab expressed gratitude to both the Telugu and Hindi film industries for their contributions to her career. Her forthcoming film, 'The Raja Saab', is slated for release on January 9, 2026, and includes a notable ensemble cast.
