RAM CHARAN SAYS ‘LAGAAN’ AND ‘PARASITE’ ARE ROOTED IN CULTURE

In an interaction with India Today, Ram Charan told “Yes. This has begun and it had a very strong impact on our films. In Telugu, it is happening with Baahubali and now crossing all boundaries. I feel RRR is a big hit not because it is from the South. We have so many industries from Bengal to Tamil Nadu in the South. We have fantastic directors. And I feel what will really make an impact with the West, is the stories that are rooted in our stories… Magadheera was like that. Lagaan was like that. Parasite from Korea – it was their own story. Anyone who makes films from their culture, folklore, struggles, and emotions – India has all of that. And the West and global audience are ready to accept somebody who is original.”
