Ram Gopal Varma claims South cinema thrived by remaking Amitabh Bachchan classics: 'Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, NT Rama Rao did remakes, became demigods'
Ram Gopal Varma reveals South Indian cinema's early reliance on remaking Amitabh Bachchan's Bollywood hits, which propelled stars like Rajinikanth to fame. While Bollywood directors were influenced by foreign cinema, the South focused on mass-appeal storytelling. Varma also recounts a producer's skepticism towards 'Pushpa: The Rise,' highlighting differing expectations in the industry. The Indian film industry is a complex tapestry of diverse languages, cultures, and storytelling styles. While Bollywood often dominates headlines, the Southern film industries have carved out their own powerful space, producing blockbuster hits and cultivating larger-than-life stars. Yet, beneath this success lies a shared history of inspiration, imitation, and adaptation that shaped both worlds. Legendary filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma sheds light on the fascinating journey of South Indian cinema, revealing how it once thrived by remaking iconic Bollywood films—particularly those starring Amitabh Bachchan—and how these influences continue to resonate today. In conversation with IndiaTV Showbiz, RGV recently observed that in the early days, all four South Indian film industries frequently remade Amitabh Bachchan 's popular films from the 1970s and 1980s. Major stars like Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, NT Rama Rao, and Rajkumar rose to fame by starring in these remakes. In the 1990s, during Amitabh Bachchan's extended five-year hiatus, music companies began producing films primarily to promote their soundtracks—Maine Pyar Kiya being a notable example. Meanwhile, the South continued to churn out 'masala' films inspired by Bachchan's style, which helped cement their leading actors as demigods. According to Varma, this pattern of drawing from Bachchan's legacy persists even today. Varma also pointed out that young Bollywood directors of that era had greater exposure to foreign cinema, thanks to their English proficiency and urban upbringing. In contrast, he noted that many commercial filmmakers in the South were less exposed to global cinematic trends and tended to focus more on grassroots, mass-appeal storytelling. The filmmaker also recalled an incident involving an unnamed producer's reaction to the film Pushpa: The Rise, directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun . A few days before the film's release, the producer reportedly expressed strong skepticism, predicting that audiences would reject the movie. His criticism was not aimed at the actor himself, but rather at the unconventional portrayal of the protagonist—someone chewing paan rather than the typical six-pack hero image. According to Varma, the producer's judgment was clouded by preconceived notions of what audiences expect, rather than the actual quality or content of the film.

SSMB29: Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli to kick off new schedule on June 9 in Hyderabad
SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu in the lead role, has been making the headlines since its inception. With the schedule of the movie already completed, the next shooting will begin on June 9, 2025, in Hyderabad. As per sources, the much-awaited film will continue its shoot from this week. However, the cast of actors who are going to be part of the schedule is unclear. Talking about SSMB29, the movie hit the headlines after Bollywood actor Nana Patekar declined to feature in the globe-trotting adventure. According to News18, the actor was invited to play the role of Mahesh's father in the film, with SS Rajamouli travelling to Pune himself to narrate the script to the veteran actor. However, the Housefull 5 actor denied being part of the colossal venture as the role did not entice him enough. As per the report, a source said, 'The filmmaker had traveled from Hyderabad to Patekar's farmhouse in Pune to narrate the script. The duo had an interesting exchange of ideas, but then Patekar said - This isn't something he wants to do.' The actor was offered a whopping remuneration of Rs 20 crore, but he still decided to decline the offer. SSMB29 is said to be a globe-trotting jungle adventure film starring superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead role. Touted to be made on a massive scale, the project also has Priyanka Chopra Jonas as the co-lead. Apart from them, Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran would also be part of the venture, playing a key role alongside the Khaleja actor. Earlier, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported that the film would be a single release, as opposed to the initial idea of a two-part cinematic venture. While the complete cast is yet to be unveiled, the film is expected to continue its shoot from 2026 and make a grand release in 2027. Coming to Mahesh Babu 's work front, the actor was last seen in the lead role in the 2024 movie Guntur Kaaram, directed by Trivikram. The action drama had actors like Sreeleela, Ramya Krishnan, Prakash Raj, Jayaram, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and more as pivotal characters.
