"Talent exploitation terrorism.”
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has once again made some controversial comments about the film industry in India.
Recently, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath announced setting up a new film city near Noida.
Reacting to the news, Kangana urged the Prime Minister’s office to “bring many industries together who have individual identities but not a collective identity.”
Taking to Twitter, Kangana wrote:
“People’s perception that top film industry in India is Hindi film industry is wrong.
“Telugu film industry has ascended itself to the top position and now catering films to pan India in multiple languages, many hindi films being shot in Ramoji Hydrabad.”

She added:
“I applaud this announcement by @myogiadityanath ji. We need many reforms in the film industry first of all we need one big film industry Indian film industry we are divided based on many factors, Hollywood films get advantage of this. One industry but many Film Cities.”
Kangana Ranaut further added:
“Best of dubbed regional films don’t get pan India release but dubbed Hollywood films get mainstream release it’s alarming.
“Reason is the atrocious quality of most Hindi films and their monopoly over theatre screens also media created aspirational imagine for Hollywood films.”
