Ranveer Singh speaks about Hindi Vs South divide: Indian cinema ek hai

Quite a few South films have worked incredibly well at the Hindi box office. Baahubali opened the gates for South films to release in Hindi and since then, fans have welcomed them with open arms. Movies like Pushpa, RRR, KGF 2 and many more were very well received by the audience. However, in a recent interview with Ranveer Singh, he spoke about the Hindi Vs South divide, to which, the Jayeshbhai Jordaar actor said that Indian cinema is one.

In an interview with entertainment portal Bollywood Life, Ranveer finally opened up about the topic saying, “I saw Pushpa, I don’t speak Telugu. I saw RRR, I don’t speak the language – but I was in awe absolutely of these films and of the craft. I can only say that I appreciate excellence in craft that the films have showcased and I’m very proud of how wonderfully well they’re doing and how they’ve been accepted by different kinds of audiences. It makes me very, very proud because I’ve never looked upon such films as others.”

Concluding his explanation, Ranveer added, “Yeh toh sab apna hi hai, yaar; Indian cinema ek hai (they’re all our films, my friend; Indian cinema is one).”

Besides this, the actor also explained his standpoint on the topic saying, “See, I’m an artist, and I don’t have that much knowledge about film business as I’m neither a trade person nor a producer. I’m a paid professional, I get money to showcase my art before the camera and my knowledge is limited to that. So, only from my personal point of view, I can say that these films (South movies dubbed in Hindi and marketed as pan-India films) are actually great films as they are.”
