Ram Gopal Varma shared his views on Mahesh Babu’s controversial remark on Bollywood film industry.
Mahesh Babu recent statement about Bollywood, when asked about his debut in Hindi films, has become a topic of discussion in tinsel town. Now, director Ram Gopal Varma, who is known for his honest and brutal nature, shared his opinion on Mahesh Babu’s controversial remark, ‘Bollywood can’t afford me’.
In an interview with India Today, Ram Gopal Varma said, “It is his choice as an actor. But I honestly didn’t understand what he meant by Bollywood can’t afford him. I am still unable to figure out what he meant by that because the point is, if you see the recent South Indian films, they were dubbed and released and they made whatever money they did. Also, first of all, Bollywood is not a company. It is a label given by the media. An individual movie company or a production house will ask you to do a film at a particular cost, so how can he generalise Bollywood, I don’t understand that. Bollywood is not a company, so his context is not understood.” Also Read: Cannes 2022: Hina Khan All Set To Walk The Red Carpet Of Cannes Film Festival Once Again Once Again, Check Details!
