In last couple years, South Indian films have surpassed their Bollywood counterparts in terms of popularity, impact and box office collection by a mile. Some people believe that success of projects like 'RRR' and 'Pushpa' is a sign that Bollywood has now lost its charm among the masses. However, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui believes that Southern films surpassing Bollywood is just a phase and it won't last for long.

According to a recent report in Hindustan Times, the actor said, "I think it's just a phase, now if a Bollywood film comes and becomes a super-duper hit, then the things you are saying right now, that will change. Here people's thoughts change after every picture, people only talk about the film that becomes a hit. But if a Hindi picture comes now and becomes a super-duper hit, this perception will change again."

Nawaz further added, "One mistake that happened is that we kept doing remakes of South films. The biggest problem here is with the writers and stories, we are not making originals at all, leaving everything up to the remakes. I think we should take a lesson from that mistake and start making original films. That would be better."
