Bollywood is Selling Stars while South Film Industry is Telling Stories: Anupam Kher

South are doing better than Hindi Films!

Anupam kher, came up with his another statement calling, why Bollywood films have majorly failed to perform at the box office while South Indian films have become blockbusters. 

According to the statement, The actor said that it's because South films are concentrating on telling stories while Bollywood films focus on packaging a film around a movie star.

Anupam Kher praised the approach of South Indian films in a new interview. In a conversation with ETimes, the veteran actor said, "You make things for consumers. (Problem starts) the day you start looking down on consumers, that, ‘we're doing you a favour by making a great film. Now you are watching a great film.’ Greatness is achieved by a collective effort and that I have learnt by doing films in Telugu...I just did another film in Telugu, I did a film in the Tamil language, and I’m going to do a Malayalam film."

The actor added, "I think over there, I’m not differentiating between the two but I think (their) cinema is relevant because they are not aping Hollywood. They are telling stories, over here we are selling stars."

Anupam Kher was recently seen in a cameo role in Nikhil Siddhartha's Karthikeya 2. The Tamil film is a mystery adventure film written and directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Anupam's upcoming films include Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani and Parineeti Chopra. He will also be seen as Jayaprakash Narayan in Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency.
