Kangana Ranaut has lent her two cents in the whole ‘Hindi vs Tamil’ debacle.
The actress who’s presently gearing for the release of her much-awaited action thriller ‘Dhaakad’ recently held a media interaction during a promotional event of the film, and while being asked about her opinion on the increasing popularity of Tamil and Telugu films, the actress stated that Bollywood has always been partial, when it comes to South Indian actors.
Speaking on the same she stated:
“This debate about South and North or South Indian films coming in is so unfortunate as they have always got step-motherly treatment and that’s why it feels like a victory today. It should not have been like this.”
She further pointed out how the Hindi film industry fails to give proper representation to all regions of our country, particularly the south:
“We have not had a single hero from the south as a leading man in the Hindi film industry. I have been talking about it that how close-knit this circle is and how it operates. This is also an example of how they don’t allow outsiders. ”
She pointed how the time has finally come for the South Indian cinema and stars to claim equal stature with Pan India audiences.
“And now that they are coming to take their due, which is rightfully theirs, we behave like they are taking away our screens, and getting into our territory. These are their screens, the whole nation is theirs. So, please stop looking at them like this (as outsiders). People in the industry who think that they are the godfathers here this is a slap on their faces. These (south Indian) actors deserve it because this was long overdue, and they will take their due. And I am very happy that they are doing it.”
Bravo Kangana! Very well, said.
We at Soundpasta, have also pointed out how the industry is in a dire need of equal representation of all quarters of the society.
As for Kangana, she’s set for the nationwide theatrical release of her action-thriller ‘Dhaakad’ which is hitting the screens on 20th May, 2022!
