Bollywood actress Yami Gautam has said that she believes films from the South are turning out to be pan-India successes as filmmakers are able to share their vision without any hurdle.
The ‘Dasvi’ actor said directors in the Hindi film industry still find it difficult to have a free hand when bringing their perspective on screen. “This is time to improvise and work on what we need to do,” Yami said.
The 33-year-old actor asserts producers are still interested in backing projects with big stars as they sideline story-oriented films.
“My husband, Aditya (Dhar), who directed ‘Uri’, even after three years of the film’s release, is working on one of his most ambitious films. But for him to explain his vision to producers… There were just two or three who understood that and are working towards it,” she said.

“The director needs more free hand in expressing their vision. We need to focus more on the story and the script… We need to straighten our priorities,” the actor added. Rather than considering films from the South competition, the actor said she is happy that stories in other languages are also becoming popular in North India.
