New Delhi. These days people are looking very angry with the Bollywood film industry. This is the reason why Hindi films are not able to show anything special at the box office continuously. Now director Anurag Kashyap has given his reaction on the flop of recently released Yash Raj banner film Shamshera.
Anurag Kashyap is promoting his film Dobara. Meanwhile, reacting to the flop Hindi films in an interview, he said, “In Bollywood cinema is largely controlled by the people and that too of the second generation who grew up in the trial room. You take a story and you want to make Pirates of the Caribbean on it but it becomes Thugs of Hindostan. After that you take a story again, you want to make it Mad Max Fury Road but it becomes Shamshera.
He further said, had Shamshera come two or three years back, it would have done very good business. At the same time, he said about Yash Raj’s second film Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Jayeshbhai Jordar’s Gujarat film did not feel anything like Gujarat. The films that are coming these days, their stories are not related to our land and roots, that is why when the final film comes out, it is very different from the expectation.
On back-to-back flops of Yash Raj, Anurag said, “You have a man sitting in a cave, who doesn’t know the outside world. He is deciding how everyone should make their films and telling them what to do. Obviously, you are digging your own grave.
You have to empower people, you can’t dictate your terms. Now that time is gone. If Aditya Chopra has hired a group of people, they need to be empowered and not directed, controlling the casting, not controlling anything. If you trust them, then put good people in the team and let them make the film. Don’t let them do the mistake you made.
On the other hand, if we talk about Anurag Kashyap’s film again, the makers had held a special screening of the film on Tuesday, which was attended by the stalwarts of Hindi cinema.
