I do think personal taste of the audience plays a part in South heros making a mark in BW.

Nargajuna of Telugu and Vikram of Tamil are both my favorites looks wise. Both dark, with mustache.

They are superstars where they are, but Nag was a failure in BW. It is not because of lack of talent or creativity. The man's family has a studio and he is a national award winner in producing and acting not to mention many more awards. He is an excellent and quite versatile actor.

I do think absolutely looks play a part in acceptance, if Kamal Hassan was not accepted 😲, it is certainly not talent.

But is it racism ? No, I don't think so. By that token will someone who looks like Ranbir or Sashi Kapoor or even Dharam Paaji and Bachchan Sr with distinct north Indian features make it in the south ? I don't think so.

ETA: Not talking about women here at all...they seem to be more accepted both ways.

Looks don't have much to do with it.

Vidyut Jamwal is from the North and looks better then leading sensations aswell.

Now he's gone to work in Tollywood after entering Bollywood and not getting many offers

I don't think Bollywood really cares about this north/south thing.

Southies brought up in North or Mumbai talk Hindi well and are accepted like Shilpa Shetty, Aishwarya, Sunil Shetty ,Tabu, Genelia, Vidya Balan, Madhavan, Ileana D cruz,John Abraham. And South Indian girls are accepted in BW cos they are pretty..Like Deepika Padukone,Jaya,Sridevi, Vyjayanthimala. Waheeda Rehman, Hema Malini, Rekha, Aditi Rao,Amrita Rao, Shruti Hassan etc.

I was hoping to see some Bengali heroes in BW but they don't even give South hero a chance there. So I think my dream of seeing Bengali actors in BW either from West Bengal or East Bengal (Bangladesh) will remain unfulfilled. 😭

Btw, we have a BD actor called Shakib Khan. He is self proclaimed King Khan of BD. Eagerly waiting to see him in BW. So you guys can faint by seeing him acting onscreen. 😆

This film will release on Eid. Biggest release ever. 😆
