He has seen decent success across the board, but the veteran actor now feels that the Tamil and Malayalam films are far superior than Hindi cinema, which has gone away from its roots ever since the multiplex era kicked in in the mid 2000s. “In the present context, I feel Malayalam and Tamil cinema are making very strong films.

He added, “After multiplexes, the Bombay film industry started making films only for multiplexes. Very cute films and things like that. Because they were …
