These days, lots of Bollywood filmmakers and actors talk about how Hindi cinema should compete with the rising popularity of South Indian cinema in the country. They obviously see southern cinema as competition and a threat of sorts but actress Kangana Ranaut seems to belong to a different school of thought. In a recent interview regarding her film 'Dhaakad', Kangana shared that all the film industries of the country should work together to produce a unique brand of Indian cinema.

Kangana told ETimes, "I had said this long ago, that we should bring India together with our movies. While growing up, I didn’t know much about people from the South and their culture, but today, when we see their films, we get to know so much about them — what they eat, what they wear. Movies expose us to that."

Thr actress added, "I was more exposed to American culture through their movies, over South Indian films or, say films from the North East. Cinema only brings us together. It’s high time that we come together and save our screens rather than let Hollywood take over, like what happened with the German and French film industries. We need to save our industry, and for that, we need to come together as one force."
