Tamannaah Bhatia, an actress known for her work in Bollywood and South Indian films recently discussed the conflicting aspects of these two film industries. Following the box office success of her most recent film, Stree 2, Tamannaah debated the differences in her guest appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast.

In discussing the distinctions between Bollywood and South Indian cinema Tamannaah pointed out that South films often emphasize storytelling that is more grounded and connected to real life. "The difference I’ve particularly noticed is that South films talk more in terms of their geographical locations. Their content is translating globally because they are trying to tell rooted stories,” she explained.

Tamannaah talked about how directors in the South focus on telling stories that connect with core human feelings like family ties and vengeance instead of tailoring their narratives for specific audience groups. "They’re not trying to service different kinds of people. They’re only telling what they know fully, and that has worked for the South," she added.

Tamannaah highlighted that Bollywood movies are typically created to cater to a wide audience even though this approach doesn't always strike a chord with viewers. Nevertheless, she expressed admiration for the recent Bollywood film Laapataa Ladies, which she found to have a compelling narrative and received positive feedback.

Tamannaah was recently seen in Vedaa, which came out around the same time as Stree 2. The film directed by Nikkhil Advani featured John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh in prominent roles.
