New Delhi. The linguistic issue raised from the film industry took the form of politics in the country. Almost all the stars and politicians of the South gave their opinion about the language. Meanwhile, now South’s superstar Chiranjeevi has shared the anecdote when he felt humiliated by not seeing South cinema in Hindi cinema. In a recent event, Chiranjeevi told how earlier Indian cinema was considered only Hindi cinema and the rest of the regional cinema is sidelined but today he is very happy because South cinema has left everyone behind. All these things were said by Chiranjeevi during an event of his latest film Acharya.
Indian cinema meaning Hindi cinema
It is known to all that Chiranjeevi and his son Ramcharan have shared the screen together in the film Acharya. The film has received a lot of love from the fans. For a long time, Tamil films have broken all the records at the box office. It has come to such a point that Salman Khan even had to say that South films play here but our films do not play here. Now Chiranjeevi has shared such an incident when he felt very humiliated for not giving attention to South. In a video, Chiranjeevi said that in 1988 I made a film called Rudraveena with Naga Babu. The film was awarded the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration… We went to Delhi to collect the award.

Films like Bahubali and RRR made the country proud
He told that we had reached Delhi to collect the award. There were pictures of only Hindi cinema stalwarts all around in the event hall. Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh had only photos. In the name of South Cinema, there were photos of MGR (M G Ramachandran) and Jayalalithaa dancing. Seeing this, my eyes became moist. Dr Rajkumar, Vishnuvardhan, NT Rama Rao, A Nageswara Rao and Sivaji Ganesan whom we consider to be deities did not have photographs. It was a matter of great humiliation for me. He projected only Hindi cinema as Indian cinema and rejected the rest of the regional languages and cinema. But today films like Bahubali 1, Bahubali 2 and RRR have made Telugu cinema proud.
