But not only South, I don't watch commercial films. It's also because I am quite busy. Hence, I hardly get any time to watch films.

For example, when a film is hit then the scripts that come to you are a reflection of that film.

We are so quick to get influenced that we start talking in the same language as the recent hit film. We tend to get similar scripts, dialogues and attitudes, which is very weird for me.
