In a recent interview with Suchin Mehrotra on The Streaming Show podcast, filmmaker Karan Johar shared a scathing indictment of Bollywood filmmakers and their inability to mount big event films.

When asked if Bollywood has a "director crisis" when it comes to large-scale event films, since most such films are being made by directors from the South, Karan responded in agreement.

He has been vocal in his praise for Tollywood filmmakers such as S.S. Rajamouli, Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prashanth Neel, who are known for creating such event films.

According to Karan, Bollywood directors need to return to what they know best.
