Naga Vamsi made a big statement about Bollywood and criticized the lack of mass appeal in the industry these days in a roundtable interview where Boney Kapoor was also present. Vamsi criticized Bollywood, saying that they only make films for Bandra and Juhu.
Naga Vamsi’s comments, particularly his statement that “the whole of Mumbai could not sleep looking at Pushpa 2 collections,” were seen as derogatory by a larger section of the Bollywood media.

He said that post the pandemic era, Bollywood has also given five projects that crossed the ₹500-crore mark (Pathaan, Jawan, Animal, Gadar 2, and Stree 2). Just Maddock Films or Jio Films are not enough to run this industry.
He said, “There might be 1-2 people who might think that way, but whenever I have gone to the South, they have been very, very encouraging. It’s better we all industries come together and make 500+800 crore films to collect 1300 crores. We should aim for that.”
Meanwhile, when Akshay was asked the same, he made a lighthearted comment in Punjabi that it’s better if Dinesh comments on the situation as he has more experience with hits in recent times.
