Putting up a smile and kissing each other's cheeks in front of the media is not friend, Rakesh Roshan's strong statement...
Raees and Kaabil have released together on January 25 and producer Rakesh Roshan isn't a happy man. While the distributors and exhibitors promised a 50-50 sharing of screens to him, it turns out that they quietly changed the game on the day of the release and gave more screens to Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees.
While Rakesh Roshan ranted against the whole practice in an interview with dna, explaining why he's hurt by the decision, he told Bollywoodlife.com, "I thought this industry will get mature day by day with all the corporate coming in. But it is getting dirtier and dirtier and we are going backwards. I have told them to avoid such clashes because it’s not good and ethical for the film. The producers are losing, distributors are losing, exhibitors are losing, audience is losing, who has so much money to go and watch two films? You are depriving so many people of so many things. Only way to go about it is by going 50-50. So that others when they come with such clashes they will think twice."
Not just this, he also targeted SRK and team Raees and questioned their friendship towards him. "Everything is getting dirty and unethical. No professionalism, no friendship, it’s (Bollywood) not a close knit family at all. It was in my time. Jeetendra, me and Rishi Kapoor are best of friends even today. That was the industry we were working in. Now just shaking hands that also we don’t know what they mean. Putting up a smile and kissing each other’s cheeks in front of the media. That’s not friendship."
Although Rakeshji refrained from directly naming anyone, it's anybody's guess who he is hinting at.
