MANOJ COMMENTS ON THE FILM INDUSTRY

Actor says churning in Hindi cinema forcing filmmakers to think differently

Hindi cinema is going through a lull phase, but this churning will hopefully lead to something better, as creative people always find a way, says actor Manoj Bajpayee.

In a year where the box office was once again dominated by blockbusters from the South like Kalki 2898 AD and Pushpa 2: The Rule, the successful business of Stree 2, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, and Singham Again has given some hope to Bollywood.

Asked whether Hindi cinema was in "trouble," Bajpayee said that isn't the case. ".But it is definitely forcing filmmakers to think differently. And there is nothing wrong with it. I think it is a churning; it's a lull period. I'm hopeful that it will go back to its natural self very soon."
