Nagarjuna addresses changing trends in Tollywood and Bollywood: 'It can't be fantastic all the time'

Veteran actor Nagarjuna who is gearing up for the release of the upcoming film 'Kuberaa', starring Dhanush in the lead, recently weighed in on the ongoing comparisons between Bollywood and the southern film industries.During an interview with Galatta Plus, Nagarjuna shared that he believes these trends are cyclical, and no industry remains at the top forever. When asked if Bollywood has lost it's spark in contrast to a booming southern film industry, the actor dismissed it saying, "These narratives keep changing."He explained that it's like an actor or director having a bad time of 4-5 years. He further explained, "Everything cumulative probably happened there, and films didn't work.

And then they say the whole film industry is gone. In my time, in the Telugu film industry, it has happened four times. And I believe the fourth time will come now, very soon. I'm very sure, it's my hunch."Nagarjuna was also asked about filmmaker Naga Vamsi's recent prediction of a "bloodbath" in Tollywood due to changing audience tastes and underperforming films. The actor disagreed with it but also shared the need for timely reinvention.

He about how films like mentioned that Tourist Family' in Tamil, 'Court' in Telugu, and 'Anaganaga' on OTT are working so well. He shared that audience's tastes are changing and as filmmakers, they have to keep that in mind.

"They have to change fast. If we don't look at the future, things could be pretty bad. I feel that's what happened in Hindi. Now they'll change. It can't be fantastic all the time", he said.On the work front, he will be seen next in 'Kuberaa' joining Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead. The movie will be released on June 20.He will be further seen in Rajinikanth's film 'Coolie' which also includes the brief appearance of stars like Aamir Khan, Upendra Rao and Pooja Hegde.
