'Telugu industry is connected to its roots and traditions', says R Madhavan on difference between South and Bollywood
R Madhavan: Bollywood versus South has always been a topic of discussion in the film industry. Recently, actor R. Madhavan has expressed his views on this.

R. Madhavan is one of the most capable stars. He has as much love in the South industry as he has fans in the Hindi belt. Recently, R Madhavan was seen talking about the production of films in Hindi and South and the changing scenario. He said that where are the Telugu and Malayalam film industries in comparison to the growing content base in the Hindi film industry? He also said that the South film industry is connected to its roots.
R Madhavan was recently seen talking about the changing scenario of the film industry during a conversation with News 18 Showsha. Be it Hindi, Telugu, or Malayalam. The actor said that Bollywood has become very elite, while the Telugu film industry is still connected to its roots. Traditions are reflected in those cinemas. For this, Madi also gave the example of SS Rajamouli's high-budget films.
R Madhavan said, 'If you look at the high-budget films of SS Rajamouli and the Telugu industry, they will look down to earth. They will definitely reflect the history of small towns in India. They invest a lot of money in making films like Bahubali, RRR, or Pushpa. Then they also put their heart and soul into filming these stories and making them strong'.
Apart from this, Madi also talked about the Malayalam industry, which has progressed a lot in recent years. R. Madhavan says that Mollywood has been able to focus mainly on aspects like content and characters. It is performing amazingly even in limited-budget films. He said, 'The Malayalam industry is now attracting the attention of the audience only based on content and characters even without big budget films. Sometimes a big-budget film is released in the Telugu industry, which flops completely, which is also a reality. In fact, the industry is going through a transformation and will soon surprise audiences with new content and innovation.
