Maddy - Page 2

Bollywood is heavily biased towards North Indian actors.Actors like Kamal Hassan and Rajnikant couldn't be as successful like Amitabh Bachhan.Till today there's hardly any south indian actor who is successful in Bollywood.

Absolutely! Hes the most underrated actor! Hes so charming and has such an endearing screen presence!

The reasons are many.Their accent,their skin color(I am not being racist,I am a south indian myself).

I remember after RHTDM released,Maddy was criticized for his looks.People called him fat,ugly and dark.

South indian actors and actresses are always stereotyped in Bollywood.Bollywood can accept Katrina kaif who didn't knew hindi nor acting because she is hot and sexy.But it can't accept a talented south indian actor/actress.The North-South divide is always there.

<div>Even Dhanush got a movie like Shamitabh after giving a mindblowing performance in Raanjhna.During Raanjhna,many people criticized him for his looks.

Deepika Padukone is a South Indian. Back then, Sri devi, hema malini, Waheeda rahman, vijayanthimala all were south Indians. Though Dhanush was earlier criticized for his looks, people weren't stingy in their praise for him after Raanjhana. It's just the south indian heroes don't try so hard to make it in Bollywood. If a movie flops, they don't bother sticking around.Edited by Kaapi - 8 years ago

agree...

@Kaapi,Deepika Padukone,Hema Malini,Sridevi,etc.are known more as Bollywood actresses.I don't think Deepika has done any south indian film apart from that Rajnikant starrer which was more of an animation film.

@Shanak fan : But Tamanna, Kajal and Shriya are not South Indians in the first place. They are north Indian actresses, who failed to make it big in their own region. Meanwhile, Deepika is a true blue south Indian who even speaks with a slight accent. And honestly Kajal and the likes have zero screen presence and hardly any talent to make it big in Bollywood. Not like they are super talented actresses who aren't getting their due. Even in south Indian films they do nothing much.

Why just Maddy? There are so many other actors who are super talented but never got their due. How many South Indian heroes have given their everything to make it big in Bollywood? Surya did one film, he flopped and he didn't bother. Vikram did one film, it flopped too and he didn't bother. They just went back doing Tamil films coz they have a strong fan base over there anyway. I think they saw no point sticking around like strugglers when they could be stars in their own base.

Yes, yes, yes!!!
