Asrani: People ultimately go and watch Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan films

There have been tremendous changes when it comes to making movies in the industry, if one compares the same in the context of bygone days. With the new generation stepping in, the makers are broadening their horizon and trying their hands on some untouched genres.

A certain section of society has also started accepting these films with some very different subjects. But according to veteran actor Asrani, people ultimately want to watch a Khan films i.e. masala movies. He claims that films with serious and soluful subjects, barely run for a week in theatres, and are appreciated only at International film festivals and award shows.

“It is good that people are experimenting with cinema. They are trying to do serious and soulful cinema but such films don’t stay in theatres for over a week. People ultimately go and watch Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan films. Quality cinema is not changing anything, everything is the same. The artists and other people involved in these films get some recognition at international film festivals and award shows only,” Asrani said in a recent interview.

The comedian known for his comic roles in some iconic Bollywood films said he has been busy reinventing himself with a lot of theatre projects, and a handful of medium budget films.

“I have seen Hollywood artists like Al Pacino, Tom Cruise and Tim Burton doing theatre and Broadway shows. Cinema actors tend to go back to theatre because it gives them an opportunity to reinvent themselves. In a play you can witness your audience live, understand how they feel. It lets you evaluate yourself and measure your growth,” he said.
