In the 1970s, Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone became one of the first prominent actors to script the films with the Rocky franchise. He also directed some of them. Years later, the Telugu film industry seems to have taken inspiration from the same as many on-screen leading men in the industry are picking the pen.
It has been more common for directors to write the story of their films. When a writer becomes the director, he or she has creative control over his or her own content and that works as an advantage. That is why directors like Puri Jagannath, Koratala Siva and Trivikram write their own stories for their films.
However, now on-screen heroes are writing stories and starring in their own films. This is more common among actors new to the industry. Instead of relying on another writer to come up with a script, they write their story and screenplay, while the responsibility of directing the film is given to somebody else. Let us take a look at some of these actors
