The
back-to-back
success
of
films
like
Allu
Arjun's
Pushpa:
The
Rise,
SS
Rajamouli's
RRR
and
Yash-starrer
KGF
Chapter
2
has
triggered
the
North
Vs
South
films
debate
in
the
country.
The
Hindi
dubbed
versions
of
these
movies
have
contributed
a
major
chunk
to
their
smashing
box
office
collection.
On
the
other
hand,
the
recent
Bollywood
flicks;
some
even
featuring
popular
stars
have
failed
to
make
a
mark
at
the
box
office.
At
the
launch
event
of
the
new
trailer
of
Kangana
Ranaut's
upcoming
film
Dhaakad,
the
actress
shared
her
opinion
on
this
topic.
The
actress
said
that
this
debate
amid
industries
is
dividing
the
stars
of
the
two
regions,
which
is
incorrect.
She
believes
that
instead
of
fighting
amongst
themselves,
the
North
and
the
South
Industry
should
unit
and
collectively
compete
against
the
Hollywood
films.
Kangana
called
herself
the
'biggest
cheerleader'
of
South
movies
and
said
that
it
was
she
who
started
the
topic
that
our
regional
cinema
should
do
well.
"What
we
have
to
do
collectively
is
to
fight
against
Hollywood
and
save
our
screens
from
international
films
because
the
American
film
industry
has
single-handedly
destroyed
the
German,
Italian,
French,
and
English
film
industries.
We
have
to
not
fight
among
ourselves,
be
it
south
film
industries
like
Kannada,
Tamil
Telugu
or
Punjabi
film
industry,
we
have
to
encourage
them
all," Kangana
said
at
the
event
as
per
an
Indian
Express
report.
She
further
emphasized
that
people
should
stop
attaching
films
to
sexuality
and
call
them
'male-centric'
or
'women-centric'.
The
actress
told
reporters,
"We
should
come
out
of
that
mentality
to
judge
a
film
if
it's
women-centric
or
male-centric.
We
should
look
at
a
film
like
a
film
and
not
attach
sexuality
to
it.
Until
now,
women
have
contributed
so
much
to
the
films,
but
the
credit
still
goes
to
men.
So,
now,
when
women
are
flourishing
in
the
films,
we
should
not
sideline
and
discourage
big
heroes
to
participate
in
our
growth."
Kangana
Ranaut
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Razneesh
Ghai's
Dhaakad
which
also
stars
Arjun
Rampal
and
Divya
Dutta
in
pivotal
roles.
