Making the worst debut doesn’t mean that its the end of the road for the actor. Strength of the personality, sheer determination and being gutsy is what is required to bounce back and lock horns with competitors. Take a look at some of the Tollywood heroes who did just that!

Jr NTR – Young tiger NTR made his Telugu cinema debut with 'Ninnu Chudalani' (as a hero). The movie went awfully wrong and Jr NTR went on to receive huge criticism that he's not fit as Tollywod hero. Cut to present, Jr NTR is arguably the best Telugu movies hero.

Naga Chaitanya – Yuva Samrat succumbed pressure when his main Telugu movie 'Josh' became a dud. Many critics even wrote him off, and a clueless Naga Chaitanya started being cautious in selecting scripts. And now he's Tollywood's new lover boy.

Prabhas – Young rebel star Prabhas did not choose the best of the scripts to launch himself as his first movie 'Eeshwar' failed to create any impression. His performance was applauded in the following movies and Prabhas is one the leading heroes in contemporary Tollywood.
