Amitabh Bachchan Opens Up On North Vs South Debate: The debate between South and North cinema has been a long-standing topic of discussion. Several celebrities have spoken up about the same and the recent one to open up about it is megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Big B said that it is incorrect to say that South cinema is doing better than the Hindi film industry. He also praised Malayalam and Tamil movies for their authenticity.
He made this statement during the Symbiosis Film Festival, where he was accompanied by his wife, Jaya Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan said, according to a report in Hindustan Times, “Regional cinema has been doing very well. But when we talk to them, they say they are making the same kind of films that we do in Hindi. They just change the dressing so that they look beautiful. A lot of the people I've met said, 'We are remaking your old films, there’s Deewar, Shakti and Sholay somewhere in all our stories.'”
“Malayalam and some of the Tamil cinema is authentic and aesthetic. This whole idea of pointing fingers at a particular region and saying that unki aachi chal rahi hai, humari nahi (they are better than us) is not right,” the ‘Jhund’ star continued.
Amitabh Bachchan Disapproves Use Of AI In Movies
Bachchan also opened up on the use of AI in cinema. He said, "All of us are now being subjected to face mapping, our entire body is going to be face mapped and going to be kept aside and used at any point of time."
"A lot of objections are being raised and I believe that there's some kind of a strike in Hollywood by the artist because the producer and the director does your face mapping, laying claim to it, and saying this is our property and we will use it whenever we want," Big B unveiled.
