The population of Maharashtra was 112m in 2011, I refuse to believe that only 77m speak Marathi as a first language in Maharashtra. 70% of the population lives in villages where everyone speaks Marathi . Why Bollywood doesn't cast Marathi male star in a lead role ? They cast Marathi stars for side roles like Politician, Police gangster or a servant. They cast Kapoor, Khanna , khan and mostly North Indians as a lead, they even cast South stars as their lead while our Marathi stars are busy dubbing.
