There was a time when South Indian movie industries (Tollywood, Kollywood & Mollywood) used to be self sufficient without Bollywood. They used to create impact without Bollywood. But it seems that now they cannot do anything without Bollywood. #BoycottLigerMovie #BoycottBollywood pic.twitter.com/SCNHG39AND
