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.
He always complains, for everything! Start doing better and movies, and who knows? Maybe will hit the rock.
I feel sorry for you sir.But remember “whoever comes to zoo he wants to see a lion before other animals. Therefore it up to you to watch out next time.
This filmfare awards proof that Rakesh sir is right, that industry is dirty now because not even one film of Akki nominated & thats all because of Srk & Karan Johar.
In fact those producers and distributors are soooooo soooooo stupid!!!! are they new ppl in the industry so they would not KNOW that it’s wrong to compete Shahrukh Khan’s film.. the badshah.. the king?!!!!!! Of course they will lose because of their stupidity and nothing else.. they had the whole year ahead to release their film and make double profits..but dumb ppl are just dumb!!!!!
