Earlier
today
(May
22,
2022),
at
the
trailer
launch
of
his
upcoming
film
Jug
Jugg
Jeeyo,
Karan
Johar
opened
up
about
the
ongoing
competition
between
the
north
and
south
films
and
said
that
he
doesn't
believe
in
such
things.
He
told
media,
"Many
years
ago,
I
presented
Baahubali.
I
have
that
huge
faith
in
the
power
of
cinema.
There
is
no
competition
between
the
same
industry,
how
can
there
be?
We
grow
together."
He
further
said
that
filmmakers
from
every
corner
of
India
have
to
be
one
collective
unit.
He
further
recalled
how
SS
Rajamouli
has
mentioned
it
multiple
times
that
there
should
be
one
cinema-
Indian
Cinema.
"The
best
cross
over
is
the
cross
over
that
happened
recently
is
that
when
the
South
has
done
such
expansive
business
in
the
north.
That
is
crossover.
Going
to
any
festival,
winning
an
Oscar
doesn't
matter
to
us.
We
want
to
grow
as
Indian
cinema
and
that
has
been
proven
time
and
again," added
Johar.
He
went
on
to
add,
"We
can
proudly
say
that
we
are
a
part
of
Indian
Cinema.
When
the
business
of
RRR,
KGF,
Pushpa
did
so
well,
we
can
say
that
it
is
Indian
cinema.
We
are
proud
of
all
those
films,
we
are
proud
of
Indian
cinema.
They
have
raised
the
bar
of
the
Indian
cinema.
Prashanth
Neel,
SS
Rajamouli,
Sukumar
and
KGF
all
that
has
completely
told
us
how
big
our
standard
can
be
and
how
far
we
can
reach."
Karan
further
wished
that
Jug
Jugg
Jeeyo
also
becomes
a
part
of
that
list.
He
concluded
by
saying
that
he
also
wants
that
films
made
in
every
language
should
work
at
the
box
office.
