- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 24 2022]
Hindi film industry has experienced several unexpected failures in last one year while the South Indian cinema and OTT platforms have thrived in the same time period. This has led people to believe that Bollywood is nearing its end and several actors and filmmakers have talked about how this issue can be resolved. However, filmmaker Rohit Shetty believes that things aren't as bad as they appear.
In a recent media event, Rohit stated how people are ignoring hit films that Bollywood has delivered in last one year. He said, Pichle 2 saal se hum pandemic se guzre hai. Humari jitni bhi badi filmein hai woh suru nahi hui, ya ban nahi payi. Jo filmein release hui waha (South) se, woh pehle se ban chuki hai. Humari pheli Sooryavanshi aayi. Phir saal ki suruvat mein The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Drishyam 2, aur Gangubai Kathiawadi aayi, and they all did fabulous business. Toh aisa nahi hai ki humari filmein nahi chal rahi hai.
Taking his point further, Rohit said, “Since childhood, you would have seen Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and a lot more. You must have seen Amar Akbar Anthony, Don, Sholay, Khiladi, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Main Pyaar Kiya, Dilwale Dhulhania Le Jayenge, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Singham, Golmaal, Sooryavanshi, Singham and more. Ek saal kharab kya hua, aap log palti maar rahe ho?”
On the work front, Rohit Shetty's is currently busy promoting his latest film 'Cirkus' and his debut web show 'Indian Police Force' is currently under production.
