Ram Charan's Wife Upasana, Actress Khushbu Upset With PM Modi For Neglecting South Cinema During 'Change Within Meet'
"The #ChangeWithin campaign was most recently hosted with leading film personalities and cultural icons and was hands down impressive. I am, however, upset that icons from the South of India who have brought so many awards and accolades to our country on a global platform have not been included in this campaign"
The focus on inviting the film industry was to create films and television shows that popularise Mahatma Gandhi and Gandhism, to mark the 150th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation. Opening up about the reason behind getting upset, Upasana said: "I absolutely respect Mr. Narendra Modi and I believe that his leadership and innovative campaigns have the power to bring the revolutionary change that India needs.Spreading the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi through cinema, ensuring more youngsters are well-acquainted with the ideals of Gandhi Ji.
Today’s interaction with leading film personalities and cultural icons was fruitful. We exchanged thoughts on a wide range of subjects. pic.twitter.com/2xKTEZrVAJ — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) October 19, 2019

Upasana feels the "southern film industry has created masterpieces and has pushed the boundaries of Indian cinema". "At this juncture a bit of recognition and appreciation by our Prime Minister would have really been extremely motivational. I express my feelings in pain and I hope its taken in a positive spirit. The Southern film industry is working day in and day out to raise the bar and deliver sensational films that make India proud. We all need a little acknowledgment and encouragement to motivate us to work harder and make our country proud," she added.
With al due respects to all those who met our H’ble PM @narendramodi ji last eve on behalf of Indian cinema, would like to remind @PMOIndia that Hindi films alone do not represent or contribute to the economy of this country. South Indian cinema is the largest contributor.. cont.

South Indian cinema represents our country globally. The best of talent comes from south india. The biggest superstars come from south india. India’s best actors belong to south india. Best technicians are South Indian. So why was South industry not invited? Why this inequality?

Expecting @PMOIndia to look into it.
