Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, who is gearing up for the release of Tamil entertainer 2.0 as a film distributor, says the southern film industry has made Hindi movie makers feel inferior in a good way. Karan was interacting with the media at a press conference on "2.0" along with film's antagonist Akshay Kumar and director S. Shankar on Saturday.

South Indian cinema has been always ahead in term of budget, scale and technology. Asked about how Bollywood needs to up its game, Karan said: "I think the great moves of many of the filmmakers in the south have encouraged that movement even in Hindi cinema. I think it is because there is a 2.0 and there was a Robot and a Baahubali, that there will be cinema spectacles which will actually follow them.
