The debate on South vs Bollywood has started once again. This is because South films are doing more well than Bollywood. Now even the films of big Bollywood stars are seen to be struggling at the box office. However, films like ‘Gadar 2’, ‘Animal’, ‘Pathan’ and ‘Jawaan’ definitely gave a big relief to the box office, but now the situation is the same again. At the same time, the success of the recently released Telugu film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ has once again forced us to think where Bollywood is going wrong. Meanwhile, director Nikhil Advani has told what ‘Pushpa 2’ star Allu Arjun told him about the condition of Bollywood. Nikkhil Advani told in an interview to ‘Galata Plus’ that Allu Arjun had once told what he sees as the biggest shortcoming in Bollywood. He had said that you all have forgotten how to become a hero. South Indian films have understood the core emotion of heroism very closely and have been successful in capitalising on it.

‘South filmmakers capture the core emotion’
According to Nikhil Advani, in South Indian films, even worldly subjects are served by dipping them in tremendous action and heroism, which the audience also likes. He said, ‘Everyone thinks that South cinema is about mythology and all this, but they take the original sentiment. Like the subject of water irrigation…they think let’s make a film on this. They add tremendous action and amazing scenes of heroism in it.’
Earlier, heroism films were made in Bollywood
Nikhil Advani said that earlier such films were made in Bollywood. Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Kalia’ and ‘Coolie’ are examples of this. Amitabh Bachchan’s character in those films was ‘larger than life’.
