Anupam Kher Says Regional Cinema Is Reviving India’s Forgotten Stories
MUMBAI, India — Anupam Kher is applauding the rise of regional cinema, crediting Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Bengali filmmakers with restoring authentic Indian storytelling that he says Bollywood has neglected.
Speaking to IANS at the Jagran Film Festival, Kher said regional cinema has outgrown the label “regional” and now represents true pan-India filmmaking. Having acted in nearly every major Indian language except Assamese and Gujarati, he observed that these industries are “more organized” and deeply aspirational, aiming for global reach.
Kher said audiences are now more open to diverse films, in part because the COVID era exposed viewers to content they might have missed before. He praised regional filmmakers for telling “the stories of India,” noting, “Hindi cinema has forgotten. We have to tell the stories about India and Indianness.”
The actor highlighted his upcoming film “Tanvi the Great,” which he described as an Indian story with a universal theme centered on autism.
The Jagran Film Festival, where Kher shared his views, is underway in Mumbai and runs through November 16. (Source: IANS)
