Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn admit there’s NO UNITY in Bollywood; say, “Really appreciate how the South stand for each other”

Superstars Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn graced the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2024. On Saturday, the two actors talked about how the Hindi film industry differs from the four film industries of the South. 

Akshay Kumar says Bollywood lacks ‘unity, respect

During the event, they were questioned about the unity in South industry in comparison to Bollywood. To which Akshay said, “I agree that we don’t have much unity. I don’t know what Ajay thinks.”

In addition to his statement Ajay said, “That’s what I think, and that’s what I keep discussing. It’s not about openings, which are a different story together, as a lot of things come into play. But I really appreciate how they (the people in the south industries) come together and stand for each other as an industry, which, honestly speaking, we lack in the Mumbai film industry. I always want that to happen.”

Ajay Devgn reveals stars ‘Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan never had conflict’

Ajay added how 90s stars supported each other. “We started together in the 90s – me, Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and others – are not in any kind of struggle or conflict. We are there for each other, and we all know that. You will never see that conflict between us,” he added.

Akshay added, “Unity is lacking, respect is lacking, and that is a big thing.”

On the work front, Akshay Kumar upcoming films include Sky Force, Jolly LLB 3, Housefull 5 and Welcome To The Jungle. On the other hand, Ajay Devgn has several films announced for 2025, like Son Of Sardaar 2, Raid 2, De De Pyaar De 2, and Azaad.
