The Telugu Film Industry is a place where the success ratio is usually in single digits. With crores of rupees involved and such low success rates, the tendency to believe in things like luck, astrology, sentiments, religious ceremonies etc will be high.
One such sentiment or should we say madness, that has been maintaining a stranglehold on the industry is numerology. You will find numerology specialists who can ‘assure’ success, change your fortunes and turn your stars overnight.
While this trend may not be surprising to see in yesteryear heroes, the astonishing thing is the number of young generation actors who run after these numerology specialists.
There is one director who sold his house, his car and his apartment because one ‘numerology specialist’ advised him that the properties were not tallying with his numerological chakras!
Another actor found success after consulting a numerologist and till date, he has fiercely guarded his secret and has not revealed the identity of the guru who ‘changed’ his fate. Interestingly, the next few films of this young actor bit the dust.
As Trivikram rightly said, India is a land where people prefer magic over logic.
