JugJugg Jeeyo actor Varun Dhawan shares his thoughts on South vs Hindi debate, says ‘we have a lot..’
When asked about the recent box office failures of Bollywood films, Varun Dhawan noted that there had been South Indian films that had failed.
The media recently questioned Varun Dhawan regarding Pushpa: The Rise, RRR, and KGF: Chapter 2, three South movies that outperformed Hindi releases.
Sharing his thoughts on the ongoing North vs South debate, Varun told Bollywood Hungama, “Cinema is doing well right now. The audience has the right to watch the cinema they want to watch. Hollywood films have been working for so many years. It is because they are liking it and, therefore, they are watching it. I myself enjoyed watching KGF 2. I had a great time watching it. It is one of the biggest grossers right now.”
When asked about the recent box office failures of Bollywood films, he noted that there had been South Indian films that had failed.
Varun added, “7-8 major flops have happened in their cinema also. That has also happened because nothing was released in the last 2 and a half years. I feel a good film will come. In the Hindi film industry, we have a lot of good films coming up. Every film can’t be a hit. The audience won’t watch a bad film, whether it is English, Hindi or a South film. They will not watch.”
Kiara Advani is another celebrity who has chimed in and shared her opinions.
Talking to India Today, she said, “I don’t know why there is a debate. My south film was back in 2018, before it was like this whole thing. I think at the end of the day it is an Indian film. We should stop calling it South or Bollywood. It is an Indian film.”
Varun Dhawan is preparing for the June 24 release of Jug jugg Jeeyo in the meantime. The actor will appear in the Raj Mehta-directed film opposite Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor. Additionally, he has Bawaal with Janhvi Kapoor and Bhediya with Kriti Sanon.
