"There¡¯s a lot of ¡®hue and cry¡¯ happening": R Madhavan on North Vs South
Speaking of the matter, actor-turned-director R Madhavan told India Today, that there¡¯s a lot of ¡®hue and cry¡¯ taking place over the language debate. Speaking of how the Covid-19 pandemic has lead to people becoming more accepting, the Tanu Weds Manu actor said that people will accept films that they like while they will reject those that they don¡¯t.
¡°That¡¯s always going to be there,¡± the Vikram Vedha actor said. R Madhavan futher expressed that south movies such as RRR, Pushpa, and KGF 2 have extremely well at the box office and there are other Hindi films such as Gangubai Kathiawadi, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 that have done fairly well too.
Moreover, the actor who does speak his mind at times when necessary also added that there is no fixed formula or pattern to what will work and what won't. The actor went on to say that the idea is to create movies that are aspirational enough to lure the audience to the theatres.
¡°Finding a formula there is not possible. I think the weak ones are trying to see a pattern in it. The idea is to make films that are aspirational enough to bring the audience to the theatres. Some films may not have worked as they may have fallen into the pandemic bracket. That's all there's to it. Why have we become a country that wants to make news about everything?¡±, R Madhavan said.
Moreover, with this R Madhavan joins the likes of actors Kamal Hasan, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn, who have already shared their takes on the ongoing North Vs South debate.
