Hyderabad: Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who attends almost every film festival, has no aim to create movies for audiences outside of India. The filmmaker, in a recent interview, said his films resonate with people across the world but unfortunately, less so with the Hindi-speaking audiences. In the midst of all this, Anurag also questioned 'equality' in Bollywood and claimed that a movie's success heavily depends upon its promotion in our film industry.
During an interview with a webloid, Anurag said that the Bollywood film industry is largely controlled by the trade, box office, and star system. He also stated examples from the Tamil and Malayalam film industries to demonstrate how the scenario differs there.
The filmmaker shared that the South has a star system too, but still, the Tamil film industry has been able to produce five hits without major actors. "There's a certain kind of equality," he said. The director went on to say that in Mollywood, they simply release their films without much of a promotion. "In Tamil Nadu, everyone gets promoted with an equal amount, there's a ceiling to it. But here (Bollywood), a big film's promotion will dominate and a small film will disappear," said the director.
