South is not new to Bollywood
Rohit said, ‘When you go to history, ‘Pyaar Kye Jaa’ came in the 50s and 60s, which was a remake, it had Shashi Kapoor ji. After this, in the 80s, when Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna were superstars, a new boy came in ‘Ek Duje Ke Liye’, Kamal Haasan which was a huge hit. We also had superstars Jaya Prada and Sridevi of the 80s and 90s from the South. From Himmatwala to Justice Chowdhary, they were all South films.
‘Some people get pleasure from doing such things’
Rohit further said, ‘Our film industry’s best music director AR Rahman is also from South. When VCRs came in the 80s, people said that Bollywood and theater would end. When OTT came, people said that now Bollywood will end. He gets an intoxication and happiness after hearing ‘Bollywood is over’ but Bollywood will never end.’
