Ahead of the release of Jana Nayagan, Bobby Deol had opened up about sharing screen space with Tamil superstar and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay, describing him as remarkably grounded despite the scale of his fame. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Deol also reflected on the nature of stardom in the South and how it differs from Bollywood. Shot mostly indoors due to Vijay’s stardom Deol revealed that much of Jana Nayagan was filmed on studio lots rather than public locations, owing to the frenzy that surrounds Vijay. “It’s a fact. No work will happen if you take him on the street. He’s that big,” he said. Despite limited interaction with his co-star, Deol found him strikingly unassuming. He called Vijay “a very simple man. Very quiet, very much to himself,” adding that language barriers on set were smoothed over with the director’s help. On stardom in the South versus Bollywood Having previously headlined the Telugu film Daaku Maharaaj, Deol is familiar with Southe...

MovieMax Sion particularly stands out for its proximity to neighbourhoods with sizeable Tamil population. Hence, watching a Tamil film there on the day of its release, especial...
