The seasoned actor Piyush Mishra has a huge fan following due to his standout performances in several Bollywood movies. Besides Hindi films, he has a wide range of regional films in his resume. He will next be portraying a vital role in the Kamal Haasan-led film Indian 2.
The actor shares why South Indian films earn more money than Bollywood movies. He said, “Directors of South Indian film industries are more intelligent, have more IQ, and are more innovative compared to us (Bollywood directors). It is our foolishness that we are working on the same formula forever.”
He shared everything while on an interview with ANI. He said “Films from South India like Pushpa are typical of their genre with lots of action, violence and flashy sequences, but it is presented to the audience in a new way. I also worked in a South Indian film named Indian 2 with Shankar recently. In my first experience (of) working with him, I realized how innovative he was. He presents the same concept in a variety of ways and represents the culture better.”
He was asked whether movies that have a significant impact on people's lives are still being made. "No such films are being made in North India," the 59-year-old actor said. He discussed parallel cinema saying, “Commercial films mean ‘art made for commerce’. Hence, ‘parallel films’ don’t exist. Unless your films are entertaining a large mass of people, they cannot be called ‘cinema’ and South Indian filmmakers know this.”
The actor also shared his opinions on the recent trend of "boycott culture" in India against movies. He described it as “both right and wrong to an extent”.
