Mumbai. This year has been very special for filmmakers and Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathan took Bollywood to new heights this year. But after this there was a drought for several months. But after July the box office once again shined. ‘Roki Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’, ‘Gadar 2’, ‘OMG 2’ and ‘Jawaan’ have boosted the slow progress of the Hindi film industry. Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, looking at the success of Jawan and Gadar, said that the crowd in the theaters is short-lived and will soon be empty again.
Sanjay Gupta reacted to the success of Ghadar 2 and Jawaan in a statement to e-Times. He said that these films worked because they were big budget entertainers and highly anticipated films. Sanjay said, “Gadar 2 and Jawan are big budget films and took 2-3 years to make. “A few weeks later, the theater will be empty again and the next big movie will be waiting.”
Sanjay Gupta said that A-listers should release at least one film a year to maintain such a hold on the box office. Sanjay said that the audience is still not ready to go back to theatres. When a film like ‘Baap’ is accepted at the box office, he believes that the audience has come back.
Let us tell you that ‘Baap’ has many big actors including Mithun Chakraborty, Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff. Sanjay Gupta said that films that do not have star power, franchise value or nostalgia will not work at the box office. The state of the film industry is still worrying, but recent hits have given relief to distributors. He said, “They know that this is a four-day moon.”
Let us tell you that Sanjay Gupta has made films like ‘Kante’ and ‘Shootout at Wadala’. His next film is ‘Visphot’. The film stars Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan. Fardeen Khan is making a comeback in the world of acting after 13 years with this film.
