As 2024 wrapped up, media outlets invited actors, filmmakers, and producers to a roundtable to reflect on the year in terms of Indian cinema. For the producer's edition, Boney Kapoor and Naga Vamsi joined a discussion where they debated the influence of South films in recent times. For those unaware, Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun, was the highest-grossing film this year. 

Boney Kapoor irked by Naga Vamsi’s statement 

During a discussion on Galatta Plus, Boney Kapoor mentioned the impact of Hindi films on a global podium. He said, “The King of Morocco had honoured Amitabh and later Shah Rukh Khan. Telugu films and Tamil films have unique markets. For instance, Telugu films have a unique market in the US, while Tamil films have a strong presence in Singapore and Malaysia. That’s a significant chunk of the overseas business. And the Gulf, of course, is a cosmopolitan area.”
