On this victory of RRR, the discussion of South vs Bollywood has started again on social media. When the actor was questioned about this, he said, ‘The biggest problem in our life is that we make divisions that this is South, this is Western, this is high, this is low. Our film ‘Bheed’ also throws light on this issue. Arey, at least now understand that we are all Indians.
Whether a picture is made in the South or in the North, it is an Indian film. This film is representing our country, the makers of this film are also our people. It doesn’t matter where the film is made. Cinema is cinema. So for those who think by dividing like this, I would only say that I am sorry, but don’t be small, be big and think big. Cinema transcends the boundaries of states and countries. We do not have to limit this talent by tying it within our scope. We don’t have to gather our thorns.’
