well, we all know bollywood goes around telling the whole wide world that it represents indian cinema.a closer look would reveal the true facts.bollywood is super anti-south.
in hollywood,the black actors and actresses are allowed to have their own "exclusive space" and they are given opportunities to mushroom as independent actors.for instance the character of blade is immortalised by wesley snipes,blue streak had martin lawrence,bad boys had mr.smith and martin again.in movies like mib or an independence day will smith does share the honours with white actors but his contribution is not forgotten.anyone for that matter be it an ice-cube(xxx2,torque),denzel washington(courage under fire,training day),lawrence fishburne,dmx,smith,snipes,mr.freeman,chris rock,chris tucker all of them get their due share of recognition.sidney poitier(lifetime achievement),halle berry,mogan freeman also happen to be award winners.
coming to bollywood most of the dark skinned southern actors stand no chance of being recognised on par with their "superior" fair skinned northie counterparts.johnny lever,madhavan,suniel shetty,kk menon,prabhudeva or anyone for that matter would just have to be content with the role of a sidekick or a villian or a supporting Actor or even worse they may just end up playing villians coz most of the dark skinned people are supposed to be "bad".even if an actor from the south is as talented as hanks,as versatile as depp and as........ he'll still be a no-one when he is compared to a gora actor.what do you say people???????
