Shruti Haasan says Baahubali was the first film to break geographical and language barrier

India Today  

Actor Shruti Haasan says the arrival of streaming platforms in the country has made South Indian films more saleable to the Hindi-speaking audience, which was earlier served mostly dubbed versions of the popular content from the region. The actor said the pan-India theatrical market was mostly reserved for stars like Rajinikanth and her father, Kamal Haasan, with everything else never given an appropriate positioning. According to Shruti Haasan, the geographical and language barrier was first broken in a big way with S S Rajamouli's two-part blockbuster Baahubali, which was followed by digital platforms that offered the audience a chance to watch films in the original language. Hindi film stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn will now be seen in Rajamouli's RRR, whereas Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda will make his Bollywood debut with Karan Johar-backed Liger.
