There is so much great work being done in Telugu or Malayalam films. I don’t understand the language and so I feel the connection will not be there.
I never had the inclination to become an actor in the south. I’ve been getting offers in the south, especially from the Telugu industry.
It’s a collaboration rather than a competition. I don’t think we should take it as a competition. There is nothing to compete about.
And the minute I used to go shooting down south, they had such a strong ethos about their culture and their customs and their rituals.
I think the Hindi film industry has forgotten the larger-than-life heroism. But the Southern industries didn’t forget heroism. I’m not saying that slice-of-life films or rom-coms are bad.
I wonder why our films are not doing so well in the south. Their films are doing so well here. Heroism always works, as there is a kind of connection, and that’s very important
One mistake that happened is that we kept doing remakes of South films. The biggest problem here is with the writers and stories, we are not making originals at all, leaving everything up to the remakes.
There’s nothing south or north. It’s the Indian film industry. They are also doing the same thing, we are also doing the same thing.
Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he… he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there.
