Anupam Kher On What South Cinema Is Doing Better Than Bollywood

South films are widely appreciated. In a recent interview, Anupam Kher opened up about the recent debate on why South cinema is working better in comparison to Bollywood.

While talking to E-Times he said, ¡°I think over there, I¡¯m not differentiating between the two but I think (their) cinema is relevant because they are not aping Hollywood. They are telling stories, over here we are selling stars.'

Anupam mentioned, ¡°You make things for consumers. (Problem starts) the day you start looking down on consumers, that, ¡®we¡¯re doing you a favour by making a great film. Now you are watching a great film.¡¯ Greatness is achieved by a collective effort and that I have learnt by doing films in Telugu¡­I just did another film in Telugu, I did a film in the Tamil language, I¡¯m going to do a Malayalam film.'

Anupam Kher recently said, it is just nonsense to say that films are not working because of some boycott trends.?

He told Times Now, ¡°We were talking about Aamir recently, he made some statements earlier in 2015 after that Dangal came and became the biggest hit of all time in India. Did it affect his popularity or success? Everybody has freedom to express. If some people feel that they don¡¯t want to watch a certain film then it¡¯s their right. If a film is good and the audience likes it, there¡¯s no way that it won¡¯t do well.'

Anupam Kher will be coming with Kangana Ranaut's Emergency in which he will be playing the role of late political leader Jayaprakash Narayan.
