The actress’ third tweet criticised the Hindi film industry for allegedly monopolising theatres and leaving regional movies at a disadvantage. She wrote, “Best of dubbed regional films don’t get pan India release but dubbed Hollywood films get mainstream release it’s alarming."

Best of dubbed regional films don’t get pan India relase but dubbed Hollywood films get mainstream relase it’s alarming. Reason is the atrocious quality of most Hindi films and their monopoly over theatre screens also media created aspirational imagine for Hollywood films.
