There’s a debate that the South might take over Bollywood. What are your views on it? 

What I love about the South (film industry) is that there’s a lot of respect for time, they are very punctual; there’s a lot of respect for the amount of money that’s being spent.

Vivek explains the difference between South and Hindi film industries…

In Hindi, if 100 rupees is to be spent we find a way to spend 150 rupees. They (South industry) try to save every penny and make sure that every dollar spent is visually seen on screen. Sometimes you watch a movie made with Rs. 200 crores and you feel where it is on screen. They focus on telling a story, and the uniqueness of that story. But, there will be a new wave, a thought process where talent will be more important. 

The actor agrees with Suniel Shetty about cinema not being celebrated 

We have a culture of celebration. We should celebrate a release, celebrate a film and its music; it’s a fraternity.
