As known, Telugu superstar Naga Chaitanya made his Bollywood debut in August this year with Laal Singh Chaddha starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead. However, the film failed to rule the box office as it ended with Rs 6 crore.
In a recent interview with mansworldindia.com, Naga talked about the movie and shared how he is open to good projects not just in Hindi films but in other regional languages too. He said that he loves experimenting and hopes to collaborate with more filmmakers soon.
“Of course, I would like to do more films in Bollywood. I look up to that industry. There are so many filmmakers there that I want to collaborate with. I am just waiting for something interesting to come my way. And not just Hindi cinema, I would love to dabble in other languages as well. I love doing interesting characters and I love experimenting and playing with those. I am open to all industries when it comes to quality work,” the actor said.
He further spoke about the North vs South debate and answered if the South cinema is ‘dwarfing’ Bollywood. He was also asked if Bollywood is going wrong somewhere to which he replied that the audience prefers to watch more relatable content.
“Nothing is going wrong anywhere. The audience picks the content they can relate to the most. If there is an emotional connection, they will make it win, be it in any language. Language is not a barrier anymore; people are watching movies with subtitles. I think we just need to churn out fresher and more relatable content, be in any language,” the actor said.
He further implied that makers should make movies that echo with them first before they can attempt to connect with the audience. He quoted saying, “Mimicking a trend is not going to cut, not for long. We have a vast variety of emotions as well as cultures, and there is an audience for every kind of cinema.”
