Mumbai,
Feb

(PTI)
Actor
Salman
Khan's
suggestion
that
Mumbai's
Hindi
film
industry
be
called
HiFi
(for
Hindi
film
industry)
and
not
Bollywood'
has
met
with
support
from
colleague
Riteish
Deshmukh.
"I
totally
love
the
term
HI-FI
for
Hindi
film
industry,
instead
of
Bollywood," Riteish
tweeted,
after
Salman
today
mooted
the
idea.
"Hollywood
se
Bollywood
naam
nikla,
this
is
not
the
name
of
our
industry.
Don't
know
where
this
ridiculous
name
has
come
from
and
got
stuck,"
Salman
said.
"One
of
the
first
film
productions
was
called
Bombay
Talkies,
so
call
it
that
or
Mumbai
Talkies
or
Indian
cinema.
Call
it
anything
but
not
Bollywood,"
he
said.
"Bollywood
was
for
when
Mumbai
was
called
Bombay,"
Salman
said.
He
had
yesterday
said
the
name
'Bollywood' is
'disgusting'
and
that
is
not
what
the
Mumbai
film
industry
should
be
called.
"Hate
this
bloody
name,
Bollywood.
Koi
naam
hai
kya?
disgusting,"
he
had
tweeted.
The
word
'Bollywood'
is
commonly
used
for
the
Hindi
language
film
industry
based
in
Mumbai
and
is
often
incorrectly
used
to
refer
to
the
whole
of
Indian
cinema.
