Reviving Dravidianism: Who brought up the North-South divide again?

Thanks to a rabid regional remark at a roundtable conference, producer Naga Vamsi is famous Pan-India. Taking a highly objectionable creative high-ground, Mr Vamsi looked down from his nose to poke fun at Hindi cinema and its reach "for Bandra and Juhu," and how Hindi cinema witnessed a change with Baahubali, RRR, Animal and Jawan.

As far as I know, Animal and Jawan were Hindi films produced by Mumbai producers. Not that it matters. The language barrier fell long back. Filmmakers stopped thinking in regional terms when Baahubali broke records everywhere. Mr Vamsi seems too mesmerized by his Dravidianism to notice that the world, and that includes the cinematic universe, has moved on long ago.
