No doubt, Niharika Konidela has created out a corner for herself with TV shows and web series. Yet her looks, in the recently released teaser of her debut film Oka Manasu, are not so appealing and they are challenging the normal looks of regular heroines. Clad in simple sarees, Niharika looked like girl-next-door and many are wondering whether she is heroine material or not.
Well, Niharika might be trying something new and against traditional heroines who stick to glam roles and she might be testing her hand at non-stereotyped roles. But the controversial question is that will Telugu audiences accept her in this avatar? Usually, this kind of roles would be seen in Tamil cinema and audiences there welcome actresses in de-glam avatar with open hands. Even Sri Divya, of Mallela Teeram Lo Sirimalle Chettu, shifted her base to Chennai and she has pulled up the ladder in Kollywood with peace. Considering this, it needs to be seen how Telugu audiences would respond to her maiden movie. Let's wait and see.
