Actor R Madhavan says it is futile to get into the north-south cinema debate as things are constantly changing in the film industry and no one can predict how a film will be received by the people.
In 2022, only three Hindi films - 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', 'The Kashmir Files' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' - have emerged as commercial hits, while SS Rajamouli바카라s Telugu epic 'RRR', Kannada actioner 'KGF: Chapter 2' and Allu Arjun바카라s Telugu movie 'Pushpa' have created new box office records in north India.
At a press conference to promote his maiden directorial venture 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect바카라, Madhavan said it is 바카라useless to analyze바카라 why south films are doing good business in the Hindi-speaking market. 바카라To analyze (these things) is useless because if you think there is a rule (to succeed), then you can also lose everything as every day is a changing scenario. I hope in the years and days to come other films will do well and another pattern will set in. I don바카라t think we can predict how the audience will react,바카라 the 52-year-old actor said.
Madhavan believes the popularity of south films does not mean that Hindi is not doing well at the box office.
바카라바카라Baahubali바카라 one and two, 바카라RRR바카라, 바카라KGF바카라 one and two, and 바카라Pushpa바카라 are the ones that have earned more than Hindi films because there has been a fan following of them all over India and they are made on a big scale. However, it doesn바카라t mean that Hindi films haven바카라t worked. 바카라Gangubai Kathiawadi바카라 to 바카라Kashmir Files바카라 to 바카라Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2바카라 have been big hits as well,바카라 he said.
The actor believes the pandemic has changed the way audiences consume cinema. 바카라I believe that in this COVID era, there is a change in the mindset of the audience. After COVID, people바카라s patience and tolerance have become less. Like in the screenplay, the pacing is not there and that is why it is not working,바카라 Madhavan added.
The success of south films can also be attributed to the commitment and hard work of actors like NTR Jr, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun in 'RRR' and 'Pushpa', respectively, he said.
바카라The actors have done immense hard work. Like in 바카라RRR바카라, they all worked hard or in 바카라Pushpa바카라 where Allu Arjun, who is a great actor, maintained that (look) and acted and danced like his character. The commitment where an actor works on a film not just for three months or so but for years is something that people like to watch.바카라 Madhavan, best known for films such as '3 Idiots', and 'Tanu Weds Manu', said he is proud and satisfied with his first film 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' as a director.
He has written, produced, and acted in 'Rocketry', a biopic on Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer of the Indian Space Research Organisation, who was falsely accused of espionage. 바카라I started the film at the end of 2016 and it will be released in 2022. It has taken six years. Not just my role but I am satisfied with the way the film has turned out compared to the script we had written. So, it is as close to the script as possible. That is our victory."
바카라I am proud that I have made a film that I wanted to make even though it may have taken six years to make it. I take great pride in presenting the story of Nambi Narayanan,바카라 he added.
Releasing on July 1 in theatres worldwide, Madhavan said the film will have a substantial release in terms of screen count.
'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' was shot simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil, and English and will be dubbed in Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.
