Speaking recently at an Urdu Literature Festival in the Indian capital of New Delhi, Naseeruddin Shah took a dig at Bollywood filmmakers, saying that they have been making the same type of movies for the last 100 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really disappoints me that we take pride in saying Hindi cinema is 100 years old but we have been making the same films,\u201d the veteran was quoted saying. \u201cI have stopped watching Hindi films, I don\u2019t like them at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cHindustani food is loved everywhere because it has substance. What substance do Hindi films have? Yes, they are being watched everywhere\u2026They say, \u2018How exotic, how Indian, how colourful\u2019. Soon they will be bored of it because there is no substance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is hope for Hindi cinema only if we stop seeing them as means for making money. But I feel it\u2019s too late now. There is no solution any more because the films that are being watched by thousands will keep being produced and people will keep watching them, god knows till when. So those who want to make serious films, it\u2019s their responsibility to show today\u2019s reality and in such a way that they don\u2019t get a fatwa<\/em> or ED doesn\u2019t come knocking on their doors,\u201d Shah explained.<\/p>\n

On the work front, Naseeruddin Shah is awaiting the release of his hotly-anticipated web series by Karan Johar, \u2018Showtime\u2019<\/em>. The title is set to premiere on the streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar on March 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
