I do not understand the sentiments posted on Hindi and South Indian actors. Hindi film industry has good actors Ashok Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Dilip Kumar, Guru Dutt, Balraj Sahni, Om Puri, Naserrudin, Paresh Rawal, Dr Shreeram lagoo, Anupam Kher and even Bachchan. So who says South Indian actors are the best. Among Indian actresses Nargis, Waheeda, Meena Kumari, Nutan, Jaya Bhaduri, Sharmila Tagore, Rakhee, Smita Patil, Shabana Azmi, Kiran Kher, Farida Jalal, Tanuja. We should not say Hindi cinema can not compete with South Indian cinema. Evan Malyalayam cinema has not much better actresses what Hindi cinema Had. List me some good actresses and the kind of roles that they have done will you compare South Indian heroines then will bollywood. Or Name me a south Indian actor who has done variety of roles that like Ashok Kumar has done. Might be Hema or Vayjanythi made mark in Bollywood that is because of dance not talent. Bollywood still can take pride in one Nargis or Smita or Ashok Kumar or Sanjeev Kumar, we should not tell Bollywood has not talent. Guru Dutt is acclaimed actor cum director, we do not have one director cum actor that in south still? After seeing Kamal Haasan perform "Sagara Sangam" even Vaijayanthi Mala had criticised Kamal saying Mr Kamal does not know Bharat Natyam. Even the film maker who made the film did not say this, but told Kamal can do Bharat Natyam, dear all, classical dance is still more or large a women choice, I think Vaijaynthi Mala had observed
