Actress Keerthy Suresh has highlighted differences in filmmaking approaches between Bollywood and South Indian cinema, saying Hindi film productions place greater emphasis on pre-production, while South cinema often follows a more spontaneous working style.
Speaking to IANS during promotions for her Hindi project 'Akka', in which she stars alongside Radhika Apte, Keerthy said Bollywood productions usually allow more time for script readings, actor training and interactions among cast members before filming begins.
In contrast, she said, actors in South Indian cinema sometimes meet their co-stars for the first time on set, even on the day of shooting. However, she noted that extensive preparation is required for roles involving particular challenges.
“I kind of like both,” Keerthy said, expressing her appreciation for the different working methods.
The National Award-winning actress has established herself in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema and is now exploring more opportunities in Hindi films.
