The actor is also aware of the pan-India phenomenon but has shared how he doesn’t view cinema as cinema from the North or the South.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Jagapathi Babu commented on the pan-India wave and said, “It is a super healthy trend. This is because cinema is the only one world, it’s not just the South or North. Cinema is universal, acting is universal. There is no language barrier, not a state or a country is a barrier for it. It can be done anywhere in the world. It’s very healthy because there is an exchange happening. There is a new experience for the audience. They see more faces, people are getting more opportunities and things have opened up with Baahubali.”

Jagapathi’s place in the pan-India wave is bringing him projects that are bigger and mass-ier in scale. He has been roped in for Allu Arjun’s Pushpa The Rise. The actor will also be seen in Suriya’s Kanguva, which is directed by Siva and also stars Disha Patani and Bobby Deol. In Bollywood, Jagapathi’s journey is just getting more interesting. He will be seen in Aayush Sharma’s next film Ruslaan, which is directed by Katyaayan Shivpuri.
