Rajpal Yadav shares his thoughts on South Vs Bollywood

So, when asked him to share his take on the same, Rajpal said, “Aaj tak maine koi film aisi nahi hai jisme maine kaam kiya ho usme 250 log hai joh pachas South ke naa ho, pachas North ke naa ho ya North or East ke naa ho. (Till date, I have not worked in any film where there are 250 people, of which 50 are not from the South, 50 are not from the North, or not from the North and East/

He added, “Bolte hai na ke jitney technicians se leke koi, pata laga actor North ka hai toh cameraman South ka hai. Mujhe aisa lagta hai jab koi cinema super hit hota hai, toh mere liye who mere Bharat ka cinema hota hai. Toh I think cinema ki puri duniya mein koi diware nahi hai. (You know, it’s often said that from technicians to anyone, if you find out an actor is from the North, the cameraman is from the South. I feel that when a film becomes a super hit, for me, it represents Indian cinema. So, I think there are no walls in the world of cinema).”
