Mumbai: Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds recently shared a promotional video for his upcoming film, Free Guy, and addressed his Indian fans. In the video, he said that his film is influenced by Bollywood and said that ‘Hollywood is mimicking Bollywood’. Describing his film’s narrative, he said, “My movie Free Guy has got a guy named Guy who’s quite the Romeo, a girl who is out of his league. A crazy villain, some insane action, and, of course, dancing. If you’re wondering whether Hollywood is just mimicking Bollywood…Well, the answer is yes. We have no shame, no shame at all.

Earlier, Kangana spoke about the same during Thalavii press conference. She was quoted as saying by PTI, “We need to discourage American and English movies as they are taking over our screens. We need to behave like one nation. We need to stop dividing ourselves like North India or South India. We need to enjoy our own films first, be it Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu or Punjabi.”
She further added that Hollywood has destroyed French, Italian, German, and other industries with its global monopoly. She added that ‘we don’t appreciate each other, and rather see the dubbed version of Lion King or Jungle Book. She was quoted as saying, “This is what they are doing here also… We don’t appreciate each other, and rather see the dubbed versions of ‘Lion King’ or ‘Jungle Book’. But we will not give a dubbed version of a Malayalam film a chance. This will not work in our favour. We must keep our people and our industry our priority. This is the way to make an Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kangana is enjoying the success of Thalaivi, where she is seen playing the role of J Jayalalithaa. She recently announced Sita: The Incarnation. She has Dhaakad, Tejas in her pipeline.
