Kriti Sanon, Badhshah feel Bollywood is thriving again
When Nikhil pointed out that the success of the movie business in Bollywood has declined and struggles to employ as many people as before, Kriti disagreed with him. She gave examples of her movies Crew and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. While further elaborating her views, she said, “Earlier, if a film earned ₹100 crore, it would be a big deal. Now, ₹100 crore is nothing. So, the expectation has gone somewhere else only. There was a phase when it (Bollywood) was not (thriving), but now theatres are back and how.” Rapper-singer Badshah, who was also a guest on the podcast, agreed with the Do Patti actor. He pondered how individuals in Bollywood have learned from the challenging times and are now thriving.
