It
was
SS
Rajamouli's
Baahubali
franchise
which
brought
back
the
trend
of
pan
India
films.
Following
this,
the
stupendous
success
of
movies
like
Yash-starrer
KGF
Chapter
1,
Allu
Arjun's
Pushpa
and
Ram
Charan-Jr
NTR's
RRR
along
with
the
talent
cross-overs
have
redefined
Indian
cinema
and
proved
that
the
lines
between
regional
and
Bollywood
films
are
slowly
blurring.
Recently,
while
speaking
at
an
event,
Bollywood
superstar
Salman
Khan
lauded
the
massive
success
of
Rajamouli's
latest
release
RRR.
At
the
same
time,
he
also
raised
a
pertinent
question
as
to
why
Hindi
films
don't
work
in
the
South.

KGF
star
Yash
in
his
latest
interview
with
Bollywoodlife
reacted
to
Salman's
query.
He
said
that
it
is
not
like
that.
According
to
him,
even
south
films
never
used
to
get
this
kind
of
reception.
It
started
with
people
playing
dubbed
versions
here
and
the
audience
became
familiar
with
the
content
of
what
they
were
creating.
Initially,
it
started
as
a
joke
for
entertainment
as
nobody
gave
importance
to
that
space.
Yash
told
the
portal
that
people
now
have
got
familiar
with
their
way
of
storytelling
and
their
cinema.
So
it
has
not
happened
overnight.
This
has
been
there
for
a
few
years
and
eventually,
they
started
understanding
the
content,
the
expression
of
the
direction
and
everything.
He
explained
that
the
audience
got
a
straight
instant
connect
with
Baahubali,
SS
Rajamouli
sir,
Prabhas,
they
took
that
initiative
followed
by
'KGF'-
it
also
entered
with
a
commercial
angle.
"My
director
had
such
a
script
where
I
felt
it
can
go
pan
India,
my
producers
also
came
on
board,
we
came
in,
pushed
it
and
people
accepted
it
after
there
are
so
many
examples,"
the
news
portal
quoted
Yash
as
saying.
The
KGF
star
further
said
that
in
our
culture,
there
are
a
lot
of
differences,
and
that
should
become
our
strengths
rather
than
becoming
our
weaknesses.
He
said
that
according
to
him,
it
is
all
about
relatability
and
added
that
there
are
lots
of
films
from
the
North
that
are
massive
hits.
They
have
watched
a
lot
of
films
of
Hindi
stars
and
they
all
love
them.
However,
although
the
makers
of
Hindi
films
have
penetrated
the
south
market,
Yash
believes
that
instead
of
just
releasing
their
movies,
they
should
also
consider
other
aspects
like
good
distribution,
good
production
houses.
He
said
that
the
makers
should
get
producers
who
can
sell
the
movie.
Yash
told
the
portal
that
he
would
like
to
see
that
situation
where
film
releases
pan
India
and
added
that
he
hopes
that
happens
soon.
Speaking
about
KGF
2,
besides
Yash,
the
film
also
features
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Raveena
Tandon
in
key
roles.
The
Prasanth
Neel
directorial
is
slated
to
release
in
multiple
languages
on
April
14.
