Acclaimed Indian actor Manoj Bajpayee blamed films like Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s \u2018Animal\u2019<\/em>, for ruining the culture of cinema and filmmaking in India.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While\u00a0Manoj Bajpayee continues to enjoy rave reviews on his performance in the latest release \u2018Joram\u2019<\/em>, Devashish Makhija\u2019s thriller struggles hard to gain traction at the Box Office, given the \u2018Animal\u2019<\/em> tsunami and the competition with Vicky Kaushal-led mega production \u2018Sam Bahadur\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the same in the latest outing, Bajpayee maintained that he is never bothered with the earnings and profits, because the money invested in their film\u2019s production and promotion was much less than \u2018Animal\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Sam Bahadur\u2019<\/em>, and hence is not looking to compete with them at the Box Office.<\/p>\n

Going ahead, \u2018The Family Man\u2019<\/em> star also addressed the growing obsession with Box Office figures and them being the measure of talent and a title\u2019s success. \u201cI\u2019ve always spoken against the obsession with box office and have always believed that it has ruined the culture of filmmaking in our country. Numbers being thrown at people\u2019s faces isn\u2019t the right thing to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bajpayee continued, \u201cThey feel that if a film has collected 100 crore or above, it\u2019s a very good film and that it qualifies for all kinds of honours in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow what happens is that when you are making a film, you are thinking about how to fool an audience to come to a theatre and come up with tricks to show that you\u2019ve earned Rs 10 crore above its real collections on its first day. It\u2019s like our key responsibility has changed completely,\u201d the actor concluded.<\/p>\n

Pertinent to note here that Ranbir Kapoor-led action thriller \u2018Animal\u2019 <\/em>scored a bumper opening upon its release earlier this month and grossed over INR835 crores in worldwide ticket sales by the end of Day 17.<\/p>\n
