Prakash Jha Targets Hrithik Roshan & Other Actors For Being “Unoriginal”
In a recent interview with Navbharat Times, Bollywood filmmaker and producer, Prakash Jha was seen targeting some of the major names in the Bollywood industry including Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshana nd Aamir Khan among others for “copying” content and films and lacking originality.
Prakash said, “Hum toh bas copy kar rahe hai… aur gandi copy kar rahe hai. Jitne bhi bade star hai, kya woh Hrithik Roshan ho, Ajay Devgn ho, Akshay Kumar ho, Aamir Khan ho, sab copy kar rahe hai.” He added, Unko acting bandh kar deni chaiye. Unko phele dhyaan kahani pe dena chaiye. Unko project pe nahi but kahani pe dena chaiye, aache scripts, aache directors pe dhyaan dena chaiye. Apne aap ko star nahi samaj na chaiye… aur yeh nahi sochna chaiye ki agar maine haa keh diya toh mere 110 crore pake ho gaye.”
Prakash Jha Takes A Jibe At Akshay Kumar
Recently referring to the same issue the filmmaker and producer took a jibe at Akshay Kumar for delivering movies every 3 months. He told IndiaToday.in, “Today we are over publicizing movies. We go to a dance show, a comedy show, Kapil Sharma, and everywhere else. If a film is about to release, you must make people aware of it by using promotional tools. But, over-promoting a movie won’t help. There is this actor who you see every three months. How much exposure do you need? He does not even give time to put himself in a character. Every time he appears as himself. How much can you watch him? But at the same time, there is another actor who takes 4-5 years to make a film. Everything will depend on the story you make.”
Meanwhile, there have been many remakes this year, including Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha, Hrithik Roshan’s Vikram Vedha, on the other hand, Akshay Kumar is also gearing up for another remake of South film, Soorarai Pottru which starred Jai Bhim actor Suriya in the lead. Therefore there’s no denying that the Bollywood industry is indeed making a lot of remakes.
