Shabana captioned it, “At Cannes for #Nishant 1976. We had no publicity material and no money so #Shyam Benegal asked #Smita Patil and me to wear our best saris and walk up and down the promenade to attract attention.”

“And when people turned around to stare at these strange looking exotic creatures we would persuasively plead ‘Our film is showing on so and so date pls come to watch it’ and we managed a full house! That was the advertising acumen of #Shyam Benegal.”

‘Hindi films aren’t working’ says Kangna Ranaut

Kangna Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut is an Indian actress. On March 23, 1987, she was born in Bhambla, a town in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh. She is regarded as one of the country’s most popular personalities by the media.

Kangana Ranaut said Bollywood is losing out to South films because the stars down South are more relatable.  She went on to say that star kids in Hindi movies aren’t relatable.

Kangana Ranaut has never been shy about her hatred for Bollywood nepotism. The actor has been outspoken about how she believes celebrity kids in Hindi films deny ‘outsiders’ of possibilities. Kangana Ranaut has once again criticized star youngsters, claiming in a recent interview that their lack of audience relatability is what is causing Hindi films to lose ground to South films.

Kangana Ranaut answered to a question on why South Indian cinema has recently outperformed Bollywood. The actor reacted. “The way they have a connect with their audience, it is very strong. I wouldn’t say fans, it’s much more than that. With us what happens is that their (stars’) kids go abroad to complete their studies. They talk in English, watch only Hollywood films. They eat only with knife and fork and talk differently. So, how will they connect? Dekhne me bhi ajeeb se aise lagte hai jaise uble hue ande (They even look weird like boiled eggs). Their entire look has changed so people cannot relate. I don’t mean to troll anyone.”

She added, “Look how Pushpa looks like someone we know. Every labourer is able to connect with him. Tell me which of our heroes can look like a labourer in today’s times? They cannot. So, their culture (of South Indian film industry) and their grounded nature is paying them off. I hope they don’t start taking inspiration from the West. It’s important to stay connected to people within your country.”
