Asserting that a female Bollywood actor with prominent roles in films starring Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, or Akshay Kumar would be sought-after in any Indian film industry would be a justified analysis. However, Shruti Haasan would testify that Bollywood doesn’t seem to be equally welcoming of revered female actors from other film industries. Haasan may have a line-up of projects with the south Indian film industry’s megastars — Prabhas (Salaar), Chiranjeevi (Mega 154) and Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK107) — but is still frowned upon when being considered for a Hindi film.
Haasan says, “Several southern technicians, like DOP’s and action choreographers, have been working in Hindi movies for years. They don’t blow their trumpets. They complete the work quietly, and return home. That is the work ethic. [This rift] cannot exist in 2022. If south films have made three times the amount of money that Hindi films are making, one wonders why this divide exists?” she asks, referring to movies like Baahubali, RRR, and Pushpa, which found several takers in consumers of Hindi cinema too.
