Baahubali
franchise
bringing
back
the
trend
of
pan-India
films,
the
massive
success
of
Allu
Arjun’s

The
Rise,
Ram
Charan-Jr
NTR’s
RRR
and
Yash-starrer
KGF:
Chapter
2
at
the
box
office
has
kickstarted
a
discussion
on
social
media
whether
the
south
film
industry
would
soon
give
Bollywood
a
run
for
their
money.
At
the
trailer
launch
of
the
upcoming
Netflix
film
Thar,
Anil
Kapoor
was
asked
to
share
his
opinion
about
the
same.
Reacting
to
a
question
posed
by
a
journalist,
the
Dil
Dhadakne
Do
star
said
that
the
south
Indian
film
industry
has
always
made
good
films
and
people
have
always
appreciated
them.
Anil
said,
“The
South
Film
Industry
has
always
made
good
films.
People
have
always
appreciated
them;
be
it
Ram
Aur
Shyam
or
Ek
Duje
Ke
Liye.
They
have
made
brilliant
movies
and
they
will
continue
to
do
so.
They
have
always
been
a
kind
of
an
inspiration.
I
started
my
career
from
the
south.
My
first
film
as
a
leading
man
was
a
Telugu
film
(Vamsa
Vruksham)
from
where
I
learnt
professionalism,
dedication
and
discipline.
I
got
an
opportunity
to
work
with
Bapu.
After
that,
I
did
a
Kannada
movie,
which
was
Mani
Ratnam’s
first
film
(Pallavi
Anu
Pallavi).
Then,
I
did
many
action
films
like
Rakhwala,
Insaaf
Ki
Awaaz.
I
did
two
films
with
Satish
(Kaushik)
ji
which
were
adaptations
of
south
films
(Hum
Aapke
Dil
Mein
Rehta
Hai
and
Humara
Dil
Aapke
Paas
Hai).
Both
were
super
hits.”
“So,
the
south
film
industry
has
always
given
us
good
stories
and
films.
The
trend
of
south
films
doing
well
was,
is
and
will
always
be
there.
I
always
look
forward
to
great
directors
with
a
great
vision.
I
have
always
admired
them.
So,
I
don’t
get
surprised
when
south
films
do
well
now,”
Kapoor
told
the
reporters.
Anil
Kapoor
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
upcoming
film
Thar,
which
co-stars
his
son
Harsh
Varrdhan
Kapoor
and
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh.
The
revenge
noir
thriller
is
slated
to
release
on
Netflix
on
May
6,
2022.
