Getting down to question of Prabhas working in Bollywood, if he has Kjo's support he should get here. It will be awesome opportunity for him. This statement is from Telugu newspaper- Bollywood is undergoing renaissance and Telugu industry should learn from them. Bollywood's last biggest hit was Dangal with powerful feminist message and thought provoking subject on parenthood. I think it is time to face it. Bollywood may not have reached lofty position but it has definitely shaken off its mediocre past.

For all smirking Salman does and arrogance he throws out, he has worked hard in Tubelight. Akshay may act silly at times but his movies touch upon difficult and sensitive subjects. And these actors are not even known for their acting. From masala to romantic to historical to social to musical to noir to comedy to whimsical, mainstream Bollywood is exploring different genres all in same year. I don't many industry who are doing all at same time. It is time we stop running Bollywood down.

PS: Anushka is too old to restart in different industry. She has reached good place out in South. 😳

@bold. Yes there are more states that speak Hindi, but how many from those states come out to actually watch movies? The movies of top Telugu stars from just the Telugu version of the movies make around 100 crores in the south alone. How many Hindi movies made 100 crores this year? Baahubali's Telugu version made about 350 crores in India alone. How many Bollywood movies do that?

South movies explore very innovative themes too. However, just like in Bollywood they are not the most successful commercially, so maybe they're not the most visible nationwide. Many of the national award winners are from south movies. It's time to stop patronizing and under estimating South Indian movies.
