Speaking at a recently held promotional event for 'Brahmastra' in Hyderabad, filmmaker Karan Johar said we must stop categorising films and consider them all Indian films. The recent bout of success for regional movies has shed some light on the Bollywood-Tollywood divide.
Talking about movies and the labels, the filmmaker said, “We, in our own tiny way, are trying to reach every corner (of the country with our film). Like SS Rajamouli sir said, this is Indian cinema. Let’s not call it anything else. We keep giving it a wood… Bollywood, Hollywood. We are not in the woods anymore, we are out of them. We are proudly part of Indian cinema. Each and every film will now be from Indian cinema.”
On the work front, Johar is backing Ayan Mukerji’s ambitious project ‘Brahmastra’ as a producer. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Nagarjuna, Mouni Roy and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles. It is a sci-fi movie inspired by Indian mythology. The film is all set to release on September 19 in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.
