With all the rage and Box office success of Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada movies over the past few years, South Indian cinema has been the next stop for all Bollywood stars, with actors like Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Saif Ali Khan, Disha Patani, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and others venturing into pan-Indian films.

However, Shahid Kapoor is one of the few actors who is yet to treat his fans with a film, other than Bollywood.

During a recent awards night outing, he spoke about the same. “I want to work in all languages, but what if people don’t understand what I say? That’s always the fear,” Kapoor said.

He added, “To me, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada are all the same because I don’t know any of them. So if any director can trust me with that, I’d love to work in the South.”
