South Indian movies have been dominating the Bollywood box office for years.
Even though films like "Animal," "Gadar" and "Jawan" were hits, South Indian cinema's dominance hasn't waned.
The recent blockbuster success of the movie "Kalki" in Bollywood, coupled with the poor performance of films starring big stars like Akshay Kumar, has reignited this discussion.
Now, director Nikhil Advani has taken the conversation in a new direction. He revealed what he discussed with Allu Arjun about the current state of Bollywood.
Allu Arjun feels that Bollywood filmmakers have forgotten how to showcase heroism. He believes that while Bollywood makers once knew very well how to present heroes, they've forgotten their own craft.
Nikhil Advani agreed, noting that South Indian movies effectively combine strong emotions with heroism, a quality that Bollywood has been lacking these days.
He mentioned that Bollywood used to produce films with larger-than-life heroes, citing examples from Amitabh Bachchan's filmography where he played such iconic roles and entertained audiences.
Allu Arjun, who became a pan-India hero with "Pushpa," has always expressed a special affection for Bollywood.
Despite the challenges and setbacks Bollywood has faced recently, Bunny acknowledges that Bollywood has had a significant impact on South Indian cinema.
