Saif Ali Khan To Salman Khan, Bollywood Actors Who Forayed Into South Films

Pan-Indian films have taken the world of cinema by storm. The lines separating Bollywood and Tollywood films seem to have blurred, with both enjoying massive popularity among the masses. Filmmakers are also trying to adapt to the changes in film viewing, bringing Hindi and South movies under one umbrella. Several celebs from the South like Pooja Hegde, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are working in Hindi films, and many Bollywood stars, too, have ventured into the South cine world. Here is a list of five Bollywood actors who have stepped into the South film industry.

Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan is all geared up to star in two South Indian movies. He will be seen in the role of an antagonist in both films. One is with Telugu actor Jr NTR for the upcoming Koratala Siva directorial, tentatively titled NTR 30.
