Nawazuddin Siddiqui isn't impressed with the kind of films that are raking in money at the box office saying that these only create awe and shock. Siddiqui, who will next be seen in Heropanti 2, said that based on the kind of movies that are succeeding at the box office these days, it would appear that the audience’s tastes haven’t evolved in the pandemic and and superficial entertainment trumps skills in films.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, he said, “Pandemic ke baad 2 saal hum ghar mein rahe toh poore world ka cinema dekha hoga logon ne, toh kuchh salaahiyat aayegi but jis tarah ki pictures abhi hit ho rahi hain toh aisa lagta hai ki salaahiyat gayi tel lene. yaha entertain karo aur superficial level pe entertain karo logo ko (People were exposed to world cinema in the two years of the pandemic; you’d expect them to have developed an ability to judge content, but considering the kind of films that are becoming hits these days, the ability to judge seems to have gone out of the window. It is just about entertainment on superficial levels.)”
He also said that it's a struggle for 'good, modest, small budget films' to get released in theatres as only big-budget films get released in theatres. Speaking about such films he added, "Such movies dazzle and create awe, that planes are put in water and fishes are made to fly. These are visual experiences that even I like to watch but where is cinema? When you watch films like CODA, King Richard, and some good films on OTT, thank God OTT has saved us, then you feel relieved that good films are being made. I think children like these shocking films. A young mind is a progressive mind. We should have been more progressive after two years, but unfortunately, it didn't happen."
Meanwhile, Nawazuddin will be seen next in the action-thriller Heropanti 2. The film, all set to release on April 29, also features Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria in the lead roles. Heropanti 2 presents Tiger's character Babloo who will be seen locking horns with Nawazuddin's Laila in a bid to stop cyber crimes across the world. The film has been written by Rajat Arora and directed by Ahmed Khan.
