BOLLYWOOD MOVIES DON'T HAVE HEROISM'
GLOBAL MOVIE MAGAZINE|April 2022

BOLLYWOOD MOVIES DON'T HAVE HEROISM'

The superstar, known for massy entertainers like Wanted and the Dabangg franchise, made the remarks while talking about the panIndia culture in movies at the International Indian Film Academy press conference in Mumbai.

"We both (South and Bollywood) believed in heroism in cinema. When you come out of theatres, you have a hero. But here, apart from one or two people, we are not making heroism films...

"Now, people have become cool and think this is clichéd. With heroism, the emotional connection has to be there, that is important. This format started with Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar and then it has been taken to the next level," Khan said during the media interaction.
