Actors Aamir Khan and Deepika Padukone along with filmmaker Karan Johar descended to speak about the changes in Indian cinema.
The 'perfectionist' Aamir Khan tag with films like ‘Lagaan’ and ‘Taare Zameen Par’ said, “Cinema is going through a period of change and transformation. The late 70s and 80s, which was the disco era, was disappointing. I feel that from the late 80s onwards, there has been a gradual change. The definition of mainstream cinema is constantly changing and has widened now. The audience is also changing”.
“The emphasis is more on box-office collection. I don't blame the audience but the filmmakers. Top filmmakers and actors are selecting scripts to bust the Rs.100 crore marks. They are scared to experiment. But cinema is an art. Film should allow creativity and the story should rule the heart,” he added.
Deepika Padukone, discussed how being an outsider from the film industry helped her grow and learn from her experiences. She said, “Everything I have learnt is due to the time I have spent on the sets, through interactions and also by my mistakes. People talk about my successful films, but I have also given back to back flops. That phase has taught me a lot,” media reported.
‘PK’ actor also emphasis on entertainment is not the end of responsibility, filmmakers responsibility is to create heroes, motivate people, touch the good and make you glow.
