Veteran Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has said the industry is getting dirtier and going backwards as time progresses. He also said clashes are no longer ethical as his latest film ‘Kaabil’ was only given 40% of screens, the rest of which went to the other release this weekend Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’.
Talking to DNA India, Roshan said “I thought this industry will get mature day by day with all the corporate coming in. But it is getting dirtier and dirtier and we are going backwards”
“I have told them to avoid such clashes because it’s not good and ethical for the film. The producers are losing, distributors are losing, exhibitors are losing, audience is losing, who has so much money to go and watch two films? You are depriving so many people of so many things. Only way to go about it is by going 50-50. So that others when they come with such clashes they will think twice.”
Remembering the olden days in the industry when the industry was close-knit family, Roshan said times have changed and people only put up a nice face in front of the media.
“Everything is getting dirty and unethical. No professionalism, no friendship, it’s (Bollywood) not a close knit family at all. It was in my time. Jeetendra, me and Rishi Kapoor are best of friends even today. That was the industry we were working in. Now just shaking hands that also we don’t know what they mean. Putting up a smile and kissing each other’s cheeks in front of the media. That’s not friendship.” he said.
lol, superstitious Rakeshji, what are u saying???
@Wahab: IMDB is shit considering SRKFANS are known for there cheap activities on social media. Ask neutrals who have watched both movies. You will get the answer.
And @indicine , kindly update my comment !
Rakesh uncle apna sagaa wala toh hai nahi still most of the things what he said are true. Nowadays people like SRK, Kjo use relations for business and self gains. At least Ajay Devgan shows his disliking openly unlike SRK who always consider Hrithik as friend & family but clashes with his movie. There was time for Kjo, Kajol was more than a friends and now he does not want to see her face and cast her just because she stood with her husband instead of friend. Fake people and fake world !!!!!
Look at who are crying. Where ae you people at the time of bang bang vs haider and Rustam vs mohenjo daro clash. Rustam gets only 2300 screens . But shame on you people when you people almost capture all screens at the time of bang bang . Bang bang released on 3400 screens but haider only on 1200 screens despite being far far better than crap bang bang.
He is such a cheap and selfish person. He always think about his benefit. Stop crying uncle. He always do manipulation and this drama. Remember at the time of haider and bang bang clash? Bang bang screen count=3400 and haider screen count= 1200 . Where are you at that time ? Such a double standard man.
When Ajay devgn targeted KJO, the clash of Shivaay and ADHM became the ugliest clash of all time but when Rakesh Roshan keep showing his opinion against SRK and Raees, it is still not the ugly clash. How?
Too much hatered against for Ajay by Indicine, what say now?
Isn’t this also one of the ugliest clash, best clash when two big film released in recent time was Dilwale & BM, neat and clean clash.
hahaha. Rakesh Roshan is the biggest example of the dirtiness he speaks about.
Krris 3 – 173 crores – He reported over 240
Bang Bang – 141 – He reported 181
Kaabil after 2 days – 23.5 – he reports 29.1 crores. In 2 days, already almost 5 crore difference.
this man is shameless and he should be booted out of the industry.
#BoycottKaabil!
@indicine u have stopped posting my comments for over a month now!! Whenever I come early to an article and make a comment that has nothing wrong in it, it is left on waiting for moderation!!
Tell me what is wrong with my comment..??
And what sort of moderation is this were I didn’t say anything bad while others are abusing a person who is the age of their father..??
Haha shame on you rakesh roshan sirji. Aap tho beshrami may krk ka baap nikhla.
You always do manipulation of your movies. Remember krishh 3 68 cr manipulation??? Now manipulating Kaabil boxoffice collection.
Why are you crying ? Just chill. Kaabil releasing on 2300- 2700 screens despite clashing with big film like raees and bigger star like srk is very good release size. Then where are you at the time of bang bang vs haider release. Haider release on 183% less screen compared to bang bang. Aslo Rustam gets lesser release than mohenjo daro. So, stop crying. You have lose your respect time to time.

Please don’t be blind fan . What respect ??? He is saying anything and fan like you are supporting blindly. Is it is right only things is in their favour? Kaabil has gets good release size despite clashing with big film. It isn’t like clash between haider and bang bang. Did you know how much was screen divided for bang bang and haider. I guess haider gets only 1250 screen but bang bang release on 3400 screen. Even mohenjo daro gets more screen size than rustam.
Dear Rakesh sir pls don’t upset on these rice makers N der fans sir,first dey don’t ve guts 2 release their film with our supremestar SALMAN dey ran away dat time N now barking..Simply dey ve guts to compete with Hrithik, Ajay, Akshay. Dis republic day weekend belongs to u only sir dey came on Ur date sir…..
Too Much Rona-Dhona!!! Someone please tell Rakeshji to behave like a mature man not 10 years old kid. The clash is already happened. He should accept it silently rather than taking a dig at everyone.
Hard to respect someone who is not only a hypocrite but a whiny liar as well. He has already manipulated the collection by 5+ crore in 2 days. He is whining about screens? Kaabil barely filled the screens it got, what would more screen do.
Secondly he said he is superstitious and can’t change his release date. Yet, he moved it from January 26 to 25.
This guy has been dragging Raees team through the mud like they have committed a crime. Stop crying man, and go manipulate some more. Like 70 crore for Kkrish 3, 40 crore for Bang Bang and now maybe 30 crore for Kaabil.
True thus is the beginning of the end of the industry, evil business has no legs and karma will get you
Lol mr roshan , u should stop manipulation first
@irfan ghalti kr rahe ho..kai yeh na ho ke girlfriend andr jaye tere saath..betay kisi aur ke saath aur bahir aaye kisi aur ke saath!! Kyon ke empty hall toh koi bhi nahi hai kaabil ka
He is right. The industry has become dirty and coward Khan is the no.1 culprit! His greed and win by all means attitude is dangerous. He shamefully ate his ego and ran from Sultan bcos he knows that with salman’s star power and yrf he can’t get maximum screens. Most of his fans are morons, they support him blindly.He is the one that brought manipulation into Bollywood. In his mind he wants to be the greatest by all means,hence his middle class sensibilities of terming himself a king even though he does not have a kingdom . He armtwist s the distributors. He did it with Akshay,Ajay,and now his friend and benefactor RK.He is a dirty man, a scum ,a slimy die hard businessman. I’m a core Salman fan but I can tell u that Amir Khan is the most upright Khan. Salman is kind to a fault but can play games for his friends,Amir will not even do it for his mother but Srk will play his friends without remorse.
RR had problem with distributors breaking their promise to allot equal screens, which they didn’t at last moment. He also said they were pressurized to do so, in the name of Baahubali perhaps. If they hadn’t made such promise, then I doubt RR would have said a word. Everyone knew Raees was a bigger film & would get more screens.
Oh stop crying man. He is the king of manipulation.

My Questions is why don’t you aver the clash ? this
date is not your father date , anybody can come on
release the movie . you are simply looser and will
always remain looser , Krish 3 collection is 179 cr but
your own calculater made 240 cr and Bang Bang 141 cr
you make 181 cr now again for Kabil 8 cr opening but
you made it 10-43 you don’t have a shame at all .
shame on you and you lost the clash with Akashya
Kumar … this clash is already lost you movie will be
flop anyway”
For whom did this moron write the comment? For Hrithik ? or for Rakesh Roshan?
This guy has again proved that many Bollywood buffs still lack a brain!
I mean what has Rakesh uncle to do with Mohenjodaro and Bang Bang ? Fool.
And how did he know, “Krrish 3 collected 179 crores???”
How did he know, “Bang Bang collected 141 crores????”
How did he know, “Kaabil opened with only 8 crores???”
I mean , “HOW?”
Is that guy a GOD ? OR Does he have some superpower to know everything??
What’s the meaning of “Manipulation” ? It’s the act of controlling and changing stuffs with dishonesty and unfairness for personal gain in a skillful way!
“If one can over report a figure from 175 crores to 244 crores for maintaining the so called prestige even with those extra tax of 70 crores” , “one can underreport the figure as well from 244 crores to 175 crores hiding the personal bias against someone ” !
So just like this loser is blaming Roshan , it would be more sensible to blame BOI as well..
BOI Facts:
Koi Mil Gaya was a blockbuster, but after 10 years, they termed it as a Super hit .
Mohra was termed as a blockbuster after 20 years!
Guzaarish is a disaster now, initially it was Flop.
Welcome is no more a Blockbuster.
Jodha Akbar is a Semi hit for them.
And many more verdicts which get changed by them from year to year !
Then why the F### One should blindly support BOI ???
****** ********************
This comment by me deserves thousands of likes.
Will movies of Aamir and Salman ever clash ?? No.
But movies of SRK and Hrithik clashed! Why ? Because SRK is a backstabber !
Rakesh ji…release Krishh 4 on Xmas 2018 n clash with Anand L Rai dwarf movie..then you see who gets more screens n shows..revenge is best served cold !!
Well said, Akki, Aamir & Ajay type actors knows that this industry is now dirty by corrupt people like Srk & karan johar.
Beta @hrithik kya sara apnepan nibhane ka theka srk ne hi le rakha hai ?? Eid ke waqt apnapan dikhaya than phir 26th jan par nhi aata toh bol koi date bhaai tu hi bata de jyada gyan baat raha h ?? Kya tumhare rakesh uncle jo so called ethical hai unko apne younger bro ki delayed movie nhi dikhi jo 60days mai movie bana kar khud ko bechara bana rahe hai aur kya ye tumhare so called kind hearted bhaaijan ko nhi sochana chahiye ki thoda apnapan dikhaye aur eid se move kar le but bhaai ushko sirf paise kamane h ushe bhi pata h without eid jai ho ho jayegi so jyada apnepan ki duhai mat do ish clash mai agar kishi ko loss hoga toh wo srk hai at least he is only among otherlisted who came continously with clash and did well.
And ha i didn’t expect this type of foolish comment from you i think you has good knowledge of bollywood jaruri nhi tum srk hater ho toh kuch bhi sense laga loge toh kuch chala nhi jayega bro
@sss who told you Badshaho was announced before Kaabil? And let me tell you if Kaabil was release with Badshaho then you mad man remember Kaabil will have collected over 200 cr. You should Bd happy badshaho did not clash with Kaabil. What star power? Then Ranveer has beaten Srk high margin so keep quite.
@Sky sorry but you are wrong. The best, neat and clean recent clash was MD vs Rustom. Both the actors wished eacj other best and spoke good about each other’s films. BM and dilwale was not a neat and clean clash as SLB shpwed his displeasure for the clash silently and srk played dirty tactics to block screens for Dullwaale which he is best known for. Shame on such cheap, manipulative cunning fox called srk.
I think what Mr rakesh Roshan trying to say is getting lesser screen is not a problem the problem is not getting that much of screens even after they promise. And promises are meant to be kept.
I am loosing faith on roshans because they are maniputed so much everysingle day . I know their movei will finish below 60 cr which is flop . but papa roshans are I just can’t accept it no more
Kaabil will start edging out Raees starting today
