Bollywood Films Are Getting Kicked Out, South Films Are Better: Varun Dhawan

Finally Bollywood started accepting that South-Indian film industries are much better than Bollywood & their inferior content is being rejected by public.

At a recent event, Varun Dhawan, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming movie Bhediya, acknowledged that South films are outperforming Hindi films at the box office.

Varun suggested that Bollywood draw inspiration from the pan-India success of Rishab Shety’s Kantara, Yash Johar’s KGF Chapter 2, and Kamal Haasan’s Vikram.

Varun Dhawan was at the India Today event, he stated there, 

“I know it sounds really easy right now because the Hindi films are getting their a**es kicked right now. So maybe it’s a great time and easy answer for me to say that. 

I have always wanted to do films in Telugu, Tamil and Bhediya is going to release in Telugu and Tamil as well. It’s a great time for all filmmakers, technicians and actors, everyone to come together.”

Varun even went on to say that we should celebrate the success that Indian films are having around the world by drawing comparisons to India’s performance at the current T20 World Cup. He said, 

“Indian films are doing really well. When Team India plays, right now they are playing for the World Cup, everyone’s an Indian playing over there, whether he is from South or North of India. 

If Kantara is doing really well or KGF 2 or Vikram, we should seek inspiration from these films and try to work with each other. It’s the best thing for Indian films to grow right now.”

Varun concluded by saying that audiences will no longer tolerate inferior content as he stated,

“The audience is not going to take any bulls**t. They are not settling for anything mediocre. The film industry is a service-providing company. 

And the service that we are proving is entertainment. So, we have to pull up our socks and give them top-of-the-line stuff and according to me, that’s the only thing that’s going to work.”

Kriti Sanon, Abhishek Banerjee, and Deepak Dobriyal play crucial parts in a spooky horror comedy film ‘Bhediya’, along with Varun Dhawan. 

The film ‘Bhediya’, directed by Amar Kaushik is scheduled for release on 25th November in theaters.
