Kangana Ranaut has always spoken about movie mafias in Bollywood. She basically hints at the big names from the industry and people who are in Bollywood because of nepotism. Surprisingly, now her Rangoon co-star Saif Ali Khan has spoken up about the film mafia.
Recently, during an interaction with a leading daily, when Saif was asked if he agrees that the industry is undergoing changes, the actor said, “To me, it’s the greatest profession in the world. I was just telling young Alaia (F., co-star) who I am shooting with for Jawaani Jaaneman, that she’s lucky she’s coming into films at a time like this when the Indian film industry is probably at its most creative. It’s in the midst of some kind of renaissance like it was in the 1950s or 60s. I don’t think there’s been a better time. And it’s only going to blow up huge from here.”
“Everyone’s kids want to join [Bollywood] now, and that means it’s going to be different types of looks, roles, people. The fixed stereotypes we had in our mind are constantly being broken. The film industry is really going to benefit, and there’s a lot of room for everyone. I’m thrilled it’ll be out of control of the film mafia, where people try and control… it’s just going to be too big, and become like Hollywood,” Saif added.
Saif’s statement surely makes us wonder who is this movie mafia he is talking about.
Coming to Saif Ali Khan’s films, the actor has some interesting projects like Laal Kaptaan, Dil Bechara, Jawaani Jaaneman, Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior and Bhoot Police. Reportedly, Saif has also been roped in to play an Indian diplomat in a film that will be based on the life of Uzma Ahmed. It is said that Shraddha Kapoor has been roped in to play Uzma Ahmed in the film. However, an official announcement of the film is yet to be made
