Shreyas Talpade on popularity of South films

With Pushpa 2, the trend of pan India films and North-South debate started. During the chat, Shreyas opined why South films are recognized in Bollywood, but our films are not dubbed or known there. He says, “There will be recognition of Hindi films there at some point in time. Their films are being dubbed and telecasted since years and so they have successfully created a market here. It didn’t happen overnight. We have even made fun of their content a lot of times saying they are loud.”

He further added, “Talking about us, our films never released there or we never dubbed and telecasted on their channel. So obviously it is going to take some time. But today at the rate things are changing, what they did in 10 years, we can do it within 3 years. But we need to make pan India films for that.”

During the chat, Shreyas also spoke about suffering heart attack and revealed why he keeps his family away from media glare. Watch the full interview here:
