When Salman Khan complained to Chiranjeevi about Bollywood films not getting acceptance in South: ‘Our films are…’

As a seasoned observer and connoisseur of the Indian entertainment scene, I have had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of the North and South film industries over the years. The ongoing debate between these two powerhouses has been an intriguing spectacle to say the least.


The argument over movies produced in Northern and Southern film industries has persisted for quite some time without resolution. As time goes by, there’s been an increasing effort to bridge these two regions of the Indian entertainment industry. However, in the past, Bollywood actor Salman Khan expressed concerns to megastar Chiranjeevi about the cool reception given to Hindi films in Southern cinema, while conversely, there were fewer restrictions.

In a past interview during an event for the movie “The Godfather”, Salman Khan made an intriguing remark about the cool reception and lack of acceptance toward Hindi films in the South, which he humorously discussed with renowned Telugu star Chiranjeevi.

Salman Khan stated, “Chiru Garu, your movies are well-received here. However, our movies aren’t gaining acceptance over there.

Following the remark, Chiranjeevi promptly countered by stating that contrary to belief, the Southern film industry had been eager to collaborate with Salman Khan personally on various upcoming ventures.

Chiranjeevi stated, “Our purpose is to bring you along. That’s part of the reason I invited Salman Khan to appear in this movie.

For those who might not know, Salman Khan made his debut with Chiranjeevi in the 2022 movie “Godfather”. This film is a reinterpretation of the well-known 2019 Malayalam production named “Lucifer”. Under the guidance of director Mohan Raja, this cinematic endeavor featured an impressive ensemble of actors such as Nayanthara, Satya Dev, Murali Mohan, Puri Jagganadh, Tanya Ravichandran, and others.

Recently, Tamannaah Bhatia shared her insights on the ongoing North vs South discussion in the movie industry during an interview with Raj Shamani. With extensive experience working in both sectors, she emphasized that South films tend to explore profound human emotions more than anything else, which resonates strongly with viewers.

In terms of upcoming movies, Salman Khan is slated for a role in Sikander, while Chiranjeevi is set to join the cast of Vishwambhara for his next project.
