North intellectuals don’t find much difference between Telugu and Tamil. They are of the opinion that, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh come under Tamil Nadu state. Especially, when it comes to films, there’s only one industry in entire south, according to their knowledge.

A ‘star’ Bollywood journalist who also writes his views and reviews on Telugu and other south language films in various web sites has come up with his review on Natural Star Nani’s Jersey which hit the screens across the globe couple of days ago.

He writes, “"Jersey" opens with a bearded 40-ish Nani running after a girl at a bookshop with a copy of a book that she wasn't able to get. "Are you stalking us?" the girl's friend asks, not unreasonably.

The opening scene, filled with an overdose of what the mush lovers call the cutesies, sums up the film that is neither great nor small, neither short, nor tall. It just about serves the purpose of providing its superstar hero Nani a platform to display his range on the subtle side of the street.

And Nani, like Naga Chaitanya in the Tamil film "Majili" a week ago, is not afraid to play a loser. He plays Arjun, a man meant to be a national-level cricketer who ends up being a failure as a professional and a husband, but is determined to be a success as a father.

"And Nani, like Naga Chaitanya in the Tamil film "Majili" a week ago,..."

First of all, it was not Nani in the opening scene, but his son played by Ronit Kamra whose character name is Nani. Then, this Bollywood senior writer calls Majili a Tamil. 

“Dear Bollywood journo, not every south film is a Tamil film. Majili is not a Tamil film, it’s a Telugu film. You very well are aware of how big industry Tollywood is. In fact, many Telugu star heroes have bigger market than most of your Hindi heroes,” affirm a Telugu film analyst.

This Bollywood writer is getting slammed for his deceitful views on Jersey and Telugu industry.
