Be it a television star or a regional film actor, artists have their eyes on Bollywood films as they have a wider reach. Time and again, we have seen these artists making an entry into Bollywood, either as leads or even in supporting roles. The latest example is the heartthrob of the Malayalam film industry, Dulquer Salmaan, who is making his Bollywood debut with Karwaan, which is set to hit the screens this Friday. The trailer and songs have received a fair response from the audience, and we are expecting it to open with a decent response. But if we analyse the box office performances of the Bollywood debut films of the South stars, we see that the acceptance in Hindi cinema is not that easy. Wondering why we say so? Here are some facts in support of the statement… (Also Read: Kurup poster: Dulquer Salmaan’s crime thriller seems to be an intriguing affair)
Dhanush – Raanjhanaa
National Award winning actor Dhanush made his big Bollywood debut opposite Sonam Kapoor in Aanand L Rai’s Raanjhanaa. The multi-talented personality showcased his acting mettle and won our heart with his amazing performance. The romantic political drama earned over Rs 60 crore and turned out to be a huge hit at the box office.
Ram Charan – Zanjeer
Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan, who is a huge superstar in the Telugu film industry, made his first Bollywood appearance in Apoorva Lakhia’s Zanjeer, which was the official remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s blockbuster of the same name. Despite the hype, the film was one of the biggest disasters of that year, so much that even Priyanka Chopra’s stardom failed to save this action drama.
Rana Daggubati – Dum Maaro Dum
Rana Daggubati, who became a household name after his menacing role of Bhallaladeva in Baahubali, made his debut in Rohan Sippy’s film, where he portrayed the character of a DJ. The crime thriller which received an average response from the audience earned around Rs 30 crore. Though Rana received a positive response from the critics for his performance.
Looking at these figures, the success ratio of films featuring South actors in pivotal roles hasn’t been high. What are your thoughts about this? Share with us, tweet to us @bollywood_life.
