Naseeruddin Shah had received a lot of flak from filmmakers like Vivek Agnihotri, Sudipto Sen and Anil Sharma after he called the success of The Kashmir Files, The Kerala Story and Gadar 2 ‘disturbing’. And now, the veteran actor revealed that he tried watching SS Rajamouli’s Oscar winning film RRR and Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa but he couldn’t sit through it.
Speaking to We Are Yuvaa, Naseeruddin shared that he has great faith in the younger generation that films like smaller films like Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi and Gulmohar will find their place and acceptance.He said that the younger generation is far more evolved and informed.
He then went on to talk about RRR and Pushpa and wondered, ‘Apart from the thrill, I can’t imagine what you get.’ He said that he couldn’t watch RRR and Pushpa, however, he managed to watch Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan because ‘he is a very capable filmmaker and has no agenda.’
Earlier in February, Naseeruddin had mentioned that the films coming out from the Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu industries are more imaginative and original than the ones being produced from the Hindi film industry. He had shared even though South films may be crass in their taste but their execution was always flawless.
In an interview with IANS last month, the veteran actor had said that he feels the mainstream cinema of India hasn’t fully stuck to its responsibilities as a medium of art. He had shared that Satyajit Ray wished for our audience to be more discerning, and stressed upon the importance of the audience that questions a filmmaker. He had also mentioned that he is awaiting a positive change in the mainstream cinema.
