Jaat trailer launch: Sunny Deol explains what has gone wrong with Bollywood: “The whole arrangement became commercial once the corporates entered the scenario…har aadmi director ban jaata hai…”

Sunny Deol explained, “Hum kho gaye hai. Earlier, a producer would love the story that the director has narrated to him. Then, they used to make the film. Later, the whole arrangement became commercial once the corporates entered the scenario. The cinema tickets got very commercial too. The interest of people diminished. Sab paise banane ka chakkar reh gaya. Everyone became a victim of this system. That hunger among filmmakers was left behind.”

He continued, “It’s a cycle and hopefully, it’ll change soon. It won’t change overnight. While working on this film, I saw that the producers believed in the subject completely. Then, they gave full freedom to the director. Agreed that sometimes the directors go overbudget but that’s because the directors want to enhance the impact of the scene. Such kind of patience and understanding on the part of the producer is very necessary.”

He added, “But in our films, people would be like ‘Time ho gaya lekin ab tak shoot khatam nahin hua, kya karoge, kya kar rahe ho, kyun nahin kar rahe ho, isko kaat do, yeh sequence hata do, yeh nahin chahiye, woh nahin chahiye. Har aadmi director ban jaata hai! It’s no longer a director’s medium then.”

Sunny Deol ended his answer on a hopeful note, “When this system is changed, I am sure we’ll also make better films.”

Jaat releases in cinemas on April 10.
