Anil Kapoor, who is back with part 2 of The Night Manager, recently spoke about the Hindi film industry's unable to give back-to-back successes and films failing at the box office. The actor did say that the industry has gone through a rough patch.
As per Indian Express, Anil Kapoor said, “I have been working for so many years, my father (Surinder Kapoor) was also in this industry, so we’ve been here for around 60 years. Actors, directors, producers talking about films working and not working… yeh silsila toh kaafi saalo se chal raha hai (Such things keep happening). There are phases… for example for two years a particular type of films don’t work and people say industry bandh ho rahi hai (the industry is closing down). I myself have seen these phases five to six times in my career, but that doesn’t happen, it will never happen. It is just how every person sees ups and downs in their life, so it is the same with the business, there will be good and bad times.”
“I take it (the dull phase) positively because during the Covid-19 pandemic people have taken the time to try and understand how to work harder, do better and make good films. Films we’ll see now will be very good, the audience will like it. People learn a lot in such situations, and those who don’t, don’t survive. I think those who are sincere and honest with their work and know their job, who know their craft, for them, there’s nothing to get scared about, they just have to keep working. Films will be made, if the films are good then the audience will come to watch it, they are watching good films,” Anil said.
