Before
leaving
for
Cannes
2022,
Deepika
Padukone
in
an
interview
with
a
leading
tabloid,
shared
her
opinion
on
Indian
cinema
undergoing
significant
changes
in
recent
times
with
the
rise
of
regional
cinema,
cross-collaboration
between
Bollywood
and
other
industries
and
pan
India
films.
The
actress
told
ETimes
that
the
Indian
cinema
is
going
exactly
in
the
directon
where
it
should
be
going,
and
the
direction
it
should
have
gone
in
a
while
ago.
She
went
on
to
say
that
the
lines
between
different
industries
like
Hindi,
Telugu,
Tamil
and
Malayalam
is
slowing
blurring,
and
there's
more
cross-cultural
acceptance
now.
Deepika
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Globally,
Indian
talent
and
movies
are,
of
course,
recognised,
but
within
India
also
we
are
seeing
a
shift.
We
are
moving
towards
a
place
now
where
you
see
India
truly
coming
together.
I
think,
earlier,
we
worked
in
isolation
-
there
was
a
Hindi
film
industry,
a
Telugu
film
industry,
a
Tamil
industry
and
a
Malayalam
industry...
And
now
those
guardrails
are
coming
down.
I
think,
there
just
seems
to
be
a
lot
more
cross-cultural
acceptance,
as
there
should
be."

In
the
interview,
the
Chhapaak
star
further
revealed
that
during
her
early
days
in
the
film
industry,
she
felt
out
of
place
since
she
didn't
watch
many
movies.
Deepika
said,
"I'm
someone
who
started
watching
movies
quite
late
in
life.
I
was
an
athlete
before
I
became
an
actor.
A
lot
of
my
friends
from
the
industry
have
grown
up
watching
a
lot
of
movies,
and
I
remember
when
I
first
came
to
the
industry,
I
used
to
talk
to
them,
and
I
would
feel
completely
out
of
place
as
they
would
always
talk
about
films
that
they
have
seen
and
references
and
dialogues
that
were
completely
alien
to
me,
because
I
came
from
a
completely
different
background."
She
said
that
while
growing
up,
she
had
no
time
to
watch
films
as
she
had
a
very
structured
and
discipled
life
being
a
badminton
player.
Deepika
candidly
admitted,
"There
was
no
time
for
movies.
In
a
year,
I
would
hardly
watch
one
or
two
movies.
So
it's
only
now
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
since
I
became
an
actor
that
I
started
(watching
films).
Of
course,
I
have
a
lot
of
catching
up
to
do."
