Rashtra Kavach Om writer feels South movies have illogical action; says, ‘If Shah Rukh Khan had done KGF instead of Yash, audience would have…’
Director Prashanth Neel’s action franchise KGF starring Yash has tasted success across the country. The Kannada movie has received pan-India appeal and became one of the biggest blockbusters of all time. However, Raj Saluja, writer of Aditya Roy Kapur starrer Rashtra Kavach Om, feels that south films have more illogical action that Hindi films. He also said that if Shah Rukh Khan would have done KGF franchise instead of Yash, the audience would have rejected him.
When Raj Saluja was asked about the recent success of pan-India films like KGF 2, Pushpa and RRR and if Bollywood is doing something wrong, he told News 18, “It is the audience that decides whom to accept and whom not to accept. For example, if you put, say Shah Rukh Khan in KGF, they will not accept that Shah Rukh Khan can do this. But if Yash is doing it, you are accepting it. Why? Because the pan-India audience is already accepting that the South actors can do this. They can do any damn thing.”
He further added, “John was doing such great stunts in Satyamev Jayate and Attack, but still the audience did not accept him. We don’t want to accept our hero doing this but we are ready to accept NTR, Ram Charan, and Yash.”
Meanwhile, Rashtra Kavach Om has received mixed reviews from the critics. Aditya is seen performing daredevil stunts, firing guns and fighting to protect the nation. It is the story of a Special Forces commando officer. It also stars Sanjana Sanghi in a prominent role. The movie has a party anthem called Kala Sha Kala. It features Sacred Games actress Elnaaz Norouzi grooving to the electrifying beats.
