Blockbuster Indian Director Rajamouli wants to make movies that go global

Across the world, Indian film is synonymous with Bollywood. But last year, box office earnings from what has become known as Tollywood, movies shot in Telugu -- the fourth-most spoken dialect in the country of 1.4 billion people -- hit $212 million, eclipsing its Hindi-language cousin by $197 million. 

A power shift is under way in India’s $24 billion media and entertainment sector, with filmmakers in the country’s south churning out a string of action-packed crowd pleasers. Recent hits include the “K.G.F.” and “Pushpa” action franchises, filmed in the Telugu and Kannada dialects, then dubbed for wider audiences.
