MUMBAI: We all know that post the pandemic, Bollywood films are not having a great run at the box office. This year, in the first three months, 13 films had been released in theatres, and only three did well at the ticket windows.
On the other hand, last year, a few big South films did fantastically well at the box office in the Hindi markets. Now, if we look at a few of the upcoming movies, South stars are being roped in for cameos and pivotal roles as well as many Bollywood actors are eyeing to be in the South pan-India movies.
