Actor Kunal Kapoor has a busy schedule ahead, with upcoming roles in Nitesh Tiwari’s eagerly awaited Ramayana and Chiranjeevi’s grand film, Vishwambhara.
Having experience across diverse Indian film industries, Kunal recently offered his perspective on the ongoing “South vs. North” cinema discussion. He suggested that while such distinctions might benefit politicians, they hold little relevance for actors, as each region contributes its own distinct qualities. Kapoor particularly highlighted that the increasing collaboration among regional cinemas is a significant asset to Indian cinema as a whole.
In a recent interview, Kunal Kapoor shared his thoughts, stating, “Whether I’m shooting in Mumbai, Hyderabad or Chennai, the essence is the same. We’re all storytellers. The North vs South narrative serves politicians, not artistes. Each region brings something unique. Be it storytelling style, visual texture, or cultural flavour. When we combine all of that, we’re not just making films that connect within the country, but ones that resonate globally. The cross-pollination that’s happening right now is very exciting. It’s no longer about regional cinema, but Indian cinema. And the world is watching.”
He makes sense, doesn’t he?
