News Topical, Digital Desk : Actor Prakash, who has appeared in major Bollywood films like Singham, Dabangg 2, and Wanted, recently criticized Bollywood films. The National Award-winning actor believes mainstream Hindi cinema has strayed from its roots and is only concerned with money.
Prakash was speaking at the ninth edition of the Kerala Literature Festival (KLF) where he shared his views on Hindi cinema.
Everything in Hindi cinema is plastic – Prakash Raj
According to a report, Prakash said, “Today, I think Malayalam and Tamil cinema are making very good films. Hindi cinema, on the other hand, has moved away from its roots. Everything looks beautiful, shiny, plastic, like you see at Madame Tussauds. We still have stories to tell. New young Tamil directors are addressing Dalit issues, and that gives a lot of hope.”
Bollywood has forgotten its roots – Prakash Raj
He further said, “I think the industry has lost its connection with the audience. After the advent of multiplexes, the Bombay film industry started making films only for multiplexes. Very sweet films and things like that. Because they were doing well. They moved into that Page 3 culture and with that, they lost their connection to rural Rajasthan and Bihar.”
"Today, everything is about money and appearances – reels, Page 3 coverage, and blatant self-promotion. In the process, I think the industry has lost its connection with the audience," she said.
Prakash Raj was last seen in the Hindi film "Tere Ishq Mein," in which he played Dhanush's father. He will next be seen in the political action drama "Jana Nayakan." This will be Vijay's last film as an actor, with a release date currently postponed and yet to be announced.
