Subhash Ghai says Bollywood doesn't have talent, which is why our films are not working.
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai whose film Khalnayak recently completed 30 years ago, talked about why most of the films are not working in the industry and expressed concern over the industry’s present situation at large.
In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, Subhash Ghai expressed his concern over the industry’s present situation and said, “We do not have enough talent to meet the growing demands of the country. That’s why, mediocre people are hired. If 20 good films are being made, only a handful have people who have the skills to make it successful. It’s our misconception that we have enough talented people and that’s why most films today are not working. And when I talk about talent, it includes everyone who runs the entertainment business- from director, content head, actor, and editor to the technicians,”
The filmmaker went on to question, “Otherwise, despite having support from investors who are ready to put any amount on a project, why are most of our films not working?”
He added, “Even new people are given the chance to prove their potential. Investors only want profit and they are ready to put money on anyone and everyone who has the skill to do that. But jab wo bhi nahi kaam karta, toh these people (production houses) go back to the ones they know will bring business.”
The filmmaker further added that there is illiteracy in the entertainment business and said, “Not all, but most of them do not even have knowledge of the job they doing. You need to be literate enough to understand and then deliver. Aapko writer banna hai par aapne Rabindranath Tagore nahi padha... Shakespeare nahi padha. So how do you expect to deliver.”
Subhash Ghai is all set to make a film titled Salaakhen starring Jackie Shroff. The film was announced by the filmmaker on Jackie’s birthday and will start filming in October.
