Highly renowned actor Nani is currently preparing for his upcoming release of HIT 3. As Nani gears up for the release of HIT 3 on May 1, he responded to Salman Khan’s remarks about how Bollywood is perceived in the South.
While promoting Sikandar, Salman Khan mentioned that South Indian audiences rarely watch Hindi films in theatres, whereas Hindi-speaking audiences warmly welcome films featuring South Indian superstars.
When asked about the notion that Bollywood holds less significance in the South, Nani responded by saying Bollywood has received love from South India for several decades.
Responding to Salman’s comments, Nani stated how actors like Salman became superstars without succeeding in the South and further stated that his films were 100% loved by the South Indian audience.
“We’ve all watched so many of Salman’s films. Movies like Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! hold cultural importance there” said Nani.
It all started after Salman mentioned how South fanbase didn’t go to the theatres to watch his films due to their strong fan following.
He stated, “Their films do well because we go and see them — like those of Rajinikanth sir, Chiranjeevi Garu, Suriya or Ram Charan. But their fans don’t go to see our films”.
The statements made by both the actors might be controversial but Nani pointed out how Salman Khan is a major star in South India and people love his films.
Meanwhile, Nani is all set for the release of his upcoming action thriller HIT 3, directed by Sailesh Kolanu. The film features Nani and Srinidhi Shetty in the lead roles, with Adil Pala, Rao Ramesh, Brahmaji, and Maganti Srinath playing key supporting characters.
