Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya recently spoke about an important issue in the film industry—how technicians in Bollywood do not get as much respect as they do in South Indian cinema. His comments come at a time when South Indian films are achieving huge success, while Bollywood is struggling to connect with audiences.
In an interview, Bharti Singh and her husband, Haarsh Limbachiyaa, spoke with Ganesh, who revealed that Allu Arjun personally called him to acknowledge his choreography in Pushpa—a gesture no Bollywood star had ever made before. He explained that in the South Indian film industry, every crew member—whether a cameraman, editor, or sound designer—is valued and respected. This creates a positive work environment where everyone feels motivated to do their best. In Bollywood, however, actors are often given the most importance, while the contributions of technicians are ignored.

One reason for this difference is the culture of each industry. In South cinema, teamwork and respect are key values, which help build long-term relationships and ensure high-quality films. This can be seen in the massive success of movies like RRR and KGF, where every detail was handled with care. Bollywood, on the other hand, focuses more on star power and often overlooks the hard work of those behind the scenes.
Ignoring technicians can have negative effects. It discourages skilled professionals from working in the industry and may lower the quality of films. The success of South Indian movies shows that when everyone’s efforts are recognized, the results are outstanding. If Bollywood wants to regain its top position, it must start treating all crew members with respect and appreciation.

The first step is to acknowledge the efforts of every person involved in filmmaking and give them the credit they deserve.
