Popular South Indian actor Nani recently shared his views on SS Rajamouli’s film RRR and how it has given global validation to the South Indian film industry. In an interview with the Free Press Journal, Nani talked about Rajamouli calling RRR a Telugu film and not a Bollywood film. He stated, “It is not wrong. It is a Telugu film primarily. If a film is made in Telugu, you can’t say it is made in Hindi or the rest of the country. We are in a generation where whatever you say will be quoted wrong. If you even say the nicest or most positive thing, it can be perceived as wrong.”
Nani also added that Rajamouli has opened the eyes of the South Indian film industry and proved that their films can be watched not just in other Southern states but across the country and even win an Oscar, as RRR did. He stated that Rajamouli has made them smart in dreaming big.
“More than setting a benchmark, Rajamouli sir has opened our eyes. Earlier, we thought, no one will watch if we release a Telugu film in other Southern states but he proved it. Then, we thought, who will watch our films across the country but Rajamouli proved it with Baahubali. And now we won an Oscar for RRR. He made us a little smart in dreaming big (laughs),” he said.
Meanwhile, Nani is busy promoting his upcoming pan-India film, Dasara, which also stars Keerthy Suresh and Deekshith Shetty. The film, directed by debutant director Srikanth Odela, is all set to release on March 30.
