In a recent interaction with India Today, the actor spoke about the North vs South debate and added that there are only three significant hits from the South, still, there is a hue and cry over it. “I think too much of hue and cry is happening. There are three films – RRR, KGF 2 and Pushpa – that did really well. The rest have managed to do a fair job. There are other films (like The Kashmir Files and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2) in Hindi that have done well.” He continued, “I think people’s acceptance has broadened because of the pandemic. They accept films that they like and reject those they don’t.”
The 3 Idiots star believes that this parameter of acceptance and rejection will always be there. Madhavan also asserted that there is no fixed formula for making successful cinema. “To find a formula there and whether South or North is better is not plausible. I think the weak ones are trying to see a pattern in it. The idea is to make films that are aspirational enough to bring the audience to the theatres. Some films may not have worked as they may have been made pre-pandemic in terms of approach and issues like pacing. That’s all there’s to it. The actor summarised it clearly by asking, “Why do we become a country who wants to make news about everything?”
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect will hit big screens on July 1 in Tamil, Hindi and English. The film will also be dubbed in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada.
