In a time where pan-India is a thing and movies and actors are not held back by regional and language barriers, actor Suniel Shetty recently opened up about why he rarely takes up roles in South films. During a new interview, the actor shared that South Indian filmmakers often approach Bollywood stars only for negative roles, which is why he chooses to stay away from these projects. Suniel went on to reveal that he does not take up most of the offers that he gets from the South Indian film industry.

Suniel was seen at a public session, Lallantop Adda 2025, held in Delhi recently. Talking at the event, the actor said, "I do get offers (from the South), but unfortunately, what happens is, you will notice this trend that we get offers for negative roles. They want to cast the Hindi heroes as powerful from an antagonistic point of view, (they say) that’s good for the screen and for the audience. And that is one thing that I don’t like."
