Before ‘KGF 2’, the Hindi dubbed versions of ‘Pushpa’ and ‘RRR’ have earned a lot of acclaim at the box office. Speaking about the success of South films dubbed in Hindi, Sanjay Dutt had told ETimes, “I think the Hindi film industry has forgotten the larger-than-life heroism. But the Southern industries didn’t forget heroism. I’m not saying that slice-of-life films or rom-coms are bad. But why have we forgotten our audience from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan who make up a large section of our audience. I hope that trend comes back in the Hindi film industry. Earlier we had individual producers and financiers which the corporatization of film studios has brought to an end. Corporatization is good but that shouldn’t interfere with our taste in movies.”
