She stated, “These kinds of films were made back then also, but maybe the budgets weren’t as high as Rajamouli’s Baahubali and RRR. But films that were considered ‘regional’ at that time were equally good. The same kind of stuff that was happening 10 years back, when I started, and it’s just that the Hindi audience is waking up to it because of this crossover, and a lot of credit goes to the OTT world…”

Taapsee continued, “The films are still as good or bad as they were back then. So, I don’t see any difference in the quality of films that they are making. It’s not like suddenly they are making something different. You see Magadheera, he’s made some fabulous films before as well. That man can make even Makkhi a hero. RRR is like, ‘obviously, he can do this’.”

She stated that actors, nonetheless, have it simpler than she did when she was making an attempt to interrupt into the Hindi trade. “It has changed a lot for actors, because eight years back when I started out in Hindi, I was called a ‘South Indian actress’, and people used to tell me to wash off that image if I really want to make it big in Hindi. I had to start from scratch, even though I hail from Delhi… I had worked with some really incredible names there, which I was really proud of, and I worked my way up… And I had to start from scratch. Unlike now. All these big stars, thanks to OTT, satellite and theatrical release, are big stars even for Hindi audiences, right from the first film itself. So, they don’t have to work their way up, like I had to 10 years back,” Taapsee stated.
