Filmmaker and Producer Boney Kapoor is riding his luck over the success of his Tamil film Valimai which had already entered the 200 crore club.
In an interview Boney came out to draw comparison of Bollywood with South Indian Film Industry.
In an interview with Firstpost, Boney compared Bollywood to South Indian film industry. He said, “Today, some of the Mumbai filmmakers serve McDonalds, KFC, pizza where you get only what you order, whereas, the South offers you thali with roti, dal-chawal, sabzi, chicken. It is a mix of everything. That is what the audience wants, a bit of everything, and everything should gel together. The world that the South Indian makers create is something accepted and liked by most."
He further revealed how producers mint more money with South Indian films. He said, “During one particular sequence in Wanted, where Salman (Khan) is bashing 16 people, I went up to Prabhu Deva and action director Vijayan, and asked them how he is fighting so many people and he has no sweat on his face, he doesn’t get hurt.
They tell me that our heroes don’t get hurt, our heroes don’t sweat, and therefore they are heroes. South industry believes in heroes, and also content wise, they have been richer. In Mumbai, we have only two to three producers who are successful but they have not even made a fraction of money what South producers have made."
