‘Dukh hota hai ki Industry aise batt chuki hai’

A video of the launch event of Bhootnii new song has now caught attention on social media where Sanjay shared his sadness with the audience. “Dukh hota hai ki Industry aise batt chuki hai jo maine kabhi dekha nahi tha. Humlog ek family the, aur hamesha rahenge, thoda bhatak gaye hai. Main yahi kehna chahta hoon ki har picture important hoti hai ye industry ke liye and har picture ko woh mauka dena chahiye. (It is disheartening that the industry has been divided which I had not seen before. We have been a family, and will always be, but have gone a little off-track lately. All I want to say is every picture is important for the industry and every movie should get an equal opportunity). The distributors and cinema owners, everybody should be equal with films,” he said.

The actor also lamented that his film is not getting enough push. "Chalo Bhootnii ko itna zor nahi diya ja raha hai lekin mujhe pata hai ye picture bahut aage niklegi. (Bhootnii might not have got much limelight but I feel the film will do well). I request the film industry to be together as a family again and let’s help each other so that the film industry grows," he added.
