Why heroines stay away from Rajasekhar?

"I have trouble casting big heroines in my movies, because they're being stopped...", proclaimed hero Rajasekhar recently.

What is the reason behind heroines staying away from him? Why do they refuse to star opposite him? Most say it is his 'angry man' image that he carries both on the screen and off the screen. It's also of importance to note that heroines have certain inhibitions to act opposite some artistes due to the image the latter garners in the industry and/or through his movies.

In the past, Mohan Babu too faced a dearth of heroines. Particularly, those heroines from the North did not act in more than one movie with the villain-turned-hero! (Late Divya Bharati was the only exception for a north India heroine that acted with Mohan Babu twice - in Assembly Rowdy and Chittemma Mogudu.)

Recently, Posani Krishnamurali encountered the same situation when he tried for a heroine to be cast opposite him in a film where he plays the male lead. He tried for several heroines from Kamalini Mukherjee to Sneha, offering each of them higher remunerations than they're generally offered.

It may be noted that these three people are known to be hot-tempered. Well, what good is blaming someone else when the mirror gives a totally different picture!
