Shahid Kapoor Opens Up On Non-Acceptance Of Bollywood Movies By South Cinema Fanatics (Watch Video)

Actor Shahid Kapoor has urged the South Indian public to welcome Bollywood films with open hearts, just as the Hindi-speaking audience has 'whole heartedly' accepted their films. Shahid Kapoor will be seen in Ali Abbas Zafar's 'Bloody Daddy' this week.

Shahid also contrasted the action flicks of Bollywood actors Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Kumar with Ram Charan and Jr. NTR's 'RRR' and Yash's 'KGF: Chapter 1' and 2.

In an interview, Shahid said, “The Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada audience should also watch Hindi films just as how the Hindi audience has accepted your films with an open heart, you all should also accept our films. Only then the cinema will grow, the audience should be open, and there should be acceptance from every quarters.”

Using the Indian Premier League's recently completed season as an example, he said, “I feel everybody should work with everybody because when you watch the IPL, as an example, there is a team from every state. There are also fifteen extra players sitting on the bench and waiting, and players are being prepared that way. So, when the Indian team is being made, you must have seen now how there is an India A squad and India B squad. Why do we have that? We had the power to go to the B squad also because we have so many good players. That only happens because everybody is coming together to add more value, so films should also be like that, everybody should come together to add more value so more people go to the theatres. But everybody should have the same attitude”

Sanjay Kapoor, Ronit Roy, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Diana Penty are also featured in Shahid's 'Bloody Daddy,' which was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. JioCinema will begin streaming the movie on June 9, 2023.
