5 Popular South Stars Who Will Appear In South Remakes Of Bollywood Films In 2018

Bollywood enjoys a healthy give and take relationship with the film industries of the south. While both the industries have a fan following in hundreds of millions, Bollywood somewhat gains an advantage in terms of the number of audiences and the areas Hindi language films cater to. Some of the biggest blockbusters of Bollywood are the remakes of Tamil, Telegu or Kannada films.

The trend has been going for a long time now and the film industries of the South have also remade Bollywood movies in their regions and languages. The main reason for remaking a Hindi film into a regional film is to deliver the message/story in the right sense as has been stated by various filmmakers and actors from the south.
