Yash on constant comparison between Bollywood and South film industries
In conversation with the Film Companion, Yash talked about how rivalry between film industries can be transformed into camaraderie.
He said, “Respect Bollywood, forget the North and South. Don’t do that. One KGF will not change the industry. I don’t want to be modest and all because this is to inspire people. Just don’t be jealous or just say we are good.’’
“The youngsters should understand how people are trying to fool you. It is not a good development when people start ridiculing Bollywood, saying they are nothing. They (Bollywood) have taught us so many things, and we all should respect that,” he added.
Further, the Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari actor said that it’s time the new generation should go and compete with the world, saying India has arrived.
