Sunil Shetty recently told why despite being a Mangalorean, he works mostly in Bollywood and why he rejects films of South Indian cinema. He told that he gets offers for many films, but he does not sign those films because Bollywood heroes mostly play the role of villain in South films.
Why does Sunil Shetty reject offers from South films?
Speaking to The Lallantop, Sunil said, “I get offers (from the South), but unfortunately, you will see this trend that we get offers for negative roles. They want to make the Hindi hero look strong… From a villain’s point of view, (they say) it is good for the screen and also for the audience but that’s the only thing I don’t like.”
He said, “I was doing films with Rajini sir only because I wanted to get a chance to work with him.” Sunil said, “Recently, I did a small Tuku film to promote a film which is performing really well. Its name is ‘Jai’.” He appeared in a small role in ‘Jai’. He further said, “Today there is no language barrier. If there is any barrier, it is probably because of the content. If your content is good, it will cross all barriers.”
