When it comes to action packed blockbusters, Rohit Shetty is one of the best filmmakers currently in the business. His last film 'Sooryavanshi' was massively loved by fans and currently he's working on comedy drama 'Cirkus' starring Ranveer Singh. While promoting the film at a recent event, Rohit became the latest celeb to share his opinion on the ongoing Southern languages vs Hindi debate.
Addressing the issue of remakes first, Rohit Shetty said, When you'll check the (Bollywood) history, you will learn that south is there since the 60s and 50s. Shashi Kapoor's Pyaar Kiye Jaa was a remake of a south film. In the 80s when Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna were at their peak, a new boy entered into cinema world, Kamal Haasan sir with Ek Duje Ke Liye, and it was a hit.
Further in his statement, Rohit shared that recent success of South Indian films will not cause any serious disadvantages to Bollywood. He stated, The trend of 'Bollywood khatam' will never happen. In the 80s, when VCRs came to the forefront, people said that theatre will go out of business, and Bollywood is finished. Then recently with the boom of OTT, many people said that Bollywood is finished. So such topic does get high, but Bollywood kabhi khatam nahi hoga.
