Quotes
Rohit Shetty
Filmmaker known for blockbuster franchises like Golmaal and Singham
“No matter how big a hit a film is, the theatre footfall never crosses four crore viewers. One of the biggest reasons for this is the language barrier. The industry should move away from labels like Bollywood, Tollywood, or Kollywood and instead embrace broader identities such as Indian cinema or Hindi cinema.”
NDTV
“Ever since cinema began, production houses from the South have been making films in Hindi, and directors from there have been working here. Films from here have also been made in the South. This has been happening since the 1950s.”
