Telugu producer Naga Vamsi made some strong and triggering claims in a recent interview that has led to Bollywood filmmakers like Hansal Mehta, Siddharth Anand and Sanjay Gupta to respond. The Bollywood vs South cinema narrative is one that been discussed largely in film circles in the past few years and with Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' breaking all previous film records at the box office has only re-ignited the conversations further. Producer Vamsi claimed that Mumbai must not have slept following Pushpa 2's collections in the country. 

"I don't think whole Mumbai would've slept when Pushpa 2 grossed 80 crore on a single day on a Sunday," he said during a Galatta round table conversation of Indian producers. Boney Kapoor who was also part of the conversation added that the collections were made just in the Hindi dubbed language alone.
