Actor Kangana Ranaut on Thursday said that there is a need to discourage Hollywood movies and instead promote Indian stories from different languages. The 34-year-old actor, who was in the national capital to promote her upcoming movie "Thalaivii", a biopic on late J Jayalalithaa, said keeping "our people and our industry" a priority is important to "make an Atmanirbhar Bharat". "We need to discourage American and English movies as they are taking over our screens. We need to behave like one nation. We need to stop dividing ourselves like North India or South India. We need to enjoy our own films first, be it Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu or Punjabi," Ranaut told reporters during a press conference.
The actor said Hollywood has destroyed French, Italian, German and other industries by creating a global monopoly. "This is what they are doing here also... We don`t appreciate each other, and rather see the dubbed versions of `Lion King` or `Jungle Book`. But we will not give a dubbed version of a Malayalam film a chance. This will not work in our favour. We must keep our people and our industry our priority. This is the way to make an Atmanirbhar Bharat," she added. Ranaut`s latest movie, "Thalaivii", which was simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu languages, is directed by AL Vijay and written by KV Vijayendra Prasad, Madhan Karky and Rajat Arora. Ranaut, who plays the former Tamil Nadu CM in the movie, said she had a different perception about politicians but it all changed after she took on the role.
