Mumbai: Actor Anil Kapoor has said that the Indian film industry has successfully struck a balance between content-driven and commercial cinema.
The 62-year-old actor asserted that if the story is good, it receives love from the audience. “There is a place and audience for all types of cinema – content and commercial and our industry has balanced it well. Films with good content are making good money at the box office. This is all because audience is more evolved than ever before,” said Kapoor.
“Audiences have evolved and so films have evolved to better resonate with that change. I don’t think it’s a matter of films being better or worse. It’s a matter of being the reflection of the times,” added the veteran actor.
This year the actor has had two releases – ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ and ‘Total Dhamaal’. The films minted Rs 43 crore and Rs 145 crore, respectively.
Kapoor said he has been experimenting with every film and is happy about it. “There is a sense of self-growth and fulfillment and the feeling of a job well done. I take pride in that,” pointed out Kapoor.
His next releases include Anees Bazmee’s ‘Pagalpanti’, ‘Takht’ with Karan Johar, and a biopic on Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra with son Harshvardhan Kapoor.
