Big stars, eminent directors, and big budgets cannot guarantee a film’s success, as evidenced by a string of failures in both the Bollywood and South film industries. The box office success of RRR, KGF 2, and Pushpa: The Rise occurred at a time when 7-8 Bollywood blockbusters were failing to attract audiences. Varun Dhawan, who is currently promoting JugJugg Jeeyo, responded by saying that 7-8 south films have also flopped in the last couple of years.

“Even the South industries have given 7 to 8 major flops. And that also happened because nothing was released for almost 2 years. A lot of content that the producers held on to seemed outdated to the audiences. So, I feel that if a good film comes, it will work. And the Hindi film industry definitely has a lot of good films coming up,” Varun stated

Speaking about the success of RRR, KGF 2, Pushpa: The Rise, Varun said, “I feel cinema is doing well right now. Every audience has the right to choose what kind of cinema they want to watch. Hollywood films have been working anyway for so many years. And people are liking films from the South and so, they are watching them. I, myself, enjoyed KGF – Chapter 2 so much. I had a great time watching it. No wonder that it is one of the biggest grossers right now.”

Several eagerly awaited films have been released in the last four months, but with the exception of SS Rajamouli’s RRR starring Junior NTR and Ram Charan, others have either bombed or received average box-office success.
