Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui believes the pattern of larger-than-life heroes has made a comeback in Indian cinema, despite the fact that he isn’t a fan of such movies. The 47-year-old actor stated he had assumed that put up the pandemic the style and choice of the audiences will likely be modified, owing to the publicity to some high-quality content material from regional and worldwide movie industries.
“I felt people have watched Korean, Spanish or Malayalam content and when theatres reopen, I thought the taste of audience will change but you can see what kind of films are working,” Nawazuddin Siddiqui stated on Friday evening on the Times Network India Economic Conclave.
“Today, the trend of ’70s, ’80s and ’90s cinema is coming back. Like, the grand entry of the hero, on which people say ‘wow’ and crores are spent on the introduction scene of the hero. It is good. I do not enjoy this kind of cinema. It depends on person to person,” he added.
His feedback come at a time when films with swashbuckling protagonists like Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi, Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa, RRR, that includes Ram Charan and Jr NTR, and Yash-headlined Okay.G.F: Chapter 2 have performed great enterprise on the field workplace.
Siddiqui, identified for movies similar to Gangs of Wasseypur, Photograph, Raman Raghav 2.0 and Manto, stated the form of movies he wish to be related to aren’t being made in nice numbers.
“The kind of cinema that I want to do it is difficult to get more opportunities like that. Today the kind of films that are doing well, is something that is meant for kids. That is the fashion today. The kind of cinema that I like has a lesser number of audiences. We may get awards and recognition for it when we go internationally but here the acceptance is not much,” he stated.
The actor lamented the dearth of alternatives for the native expertise, particularly in tasks with small city tales.
He stated despite the fact that filmmakers shoot primarily in cities like Lucknow, Jaipur, Bhopal, amongst others, the expertise from these locations are usually not getting alternatives to be a part of tasks.
“Even though there is so much work today but I do see actors from theatres facing difficulties and those who come from small villages, who have taken formal training (in acting) still find it difficult to get work. For instance, for a gangster or small town-based series, those who speak in English are often cast but those who are actually from that region don’t get these offers,” he added.
