Actor Sundeep Kishan recently shared his insights into the working cultures of South Indian and Bollywood film industries at the Dish TV Watcho Storytellers Conclave. Known for his roles in Venkatadri Express, Tiger, and Shor in the City, he compared the set dynamics of the two industries.
South Indian vs. Bollywood Film Set Dynamics
Sundeep explained the differences between the two industries: “In Tamil Nadu, the environment is more hierarchical, while in Mumbai, the chaotic atmosphere with directors like Raj & DK has an underlying structure. Once the camera rolls, the set turns silent.”
Set Vibes and Food Culture
He also noted the distinct energy on set. “In Tamil Nadu, food is buffet-style, creating a relaxed vibe. Mumbai sets, however, are fast-paced but highly organized,” he added.
Empowering Young Creators
Sundeep praised the Watcho Storytellers Conclave for providing young filmmakers a global platform to showcase their work and connect with audiences.
The Rise of Pan India Films
He highlighted the growing respect for South Indian films, saying, “Films from Hyderabad in languages like Telugu and Tamil are now being dubbed for North India and gaining massive recognition.”
Evolving Audience Recognition
Sundeep shared his experience with Nachatru, a film that gained recognition years after its initial release. “The audience’s appreciation has evolved over time,” he said.
