Nawazuddin Siddiqui makes huge claim on future of Bollywood
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has his take on the future of Bollywood. The talented actor has claimed Bollywood to not have a great future in the upcoming days due to many reasons. In an interview recently, Nawazuddin was asked about the differences between movies being made in the 1990s of those made currently in Bollywood. Siddiqui expressed the difference between the two.
The actor of ‘Haddi‘ compared how Bollywood was in the past to that of its nature currently. He felt that the movies were struggling to survive. The versatile actor claimed that there used to be a balance between commercial and story-oriented movies back in time and added that it is not the case today. Siddiqui felt that it has to do with what the audience expects from the movies these days.
Siddiqui felt that there was no freshness in the concept of the movies. He added that the same type of movies are made with a difference in costumes, actors, and makeup. Siddiqui claimed the future of Bollywood to be hopeless. “Same films are being made, just with different actors, costumes, makeup. I am hopeless about the future,” said Nawazuddin in the interview.
‘It has been quite clear that the audience likes to watch a certain type of film’ – Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Siddiqui further added that people are optimistic about the future of the industry. However, he believed that there has been a change in the taste of the audience over the years, particularly after the Pandemic. While Nawazuddin acknowledged that change is the only constant, he felt that Cinema must be able to survive and added that it has not been the case.
“A lot of people are optimistic, but it has been quite clear that the audience likes to watch a certain type of film, which is good, they must. But cinema of every kind should survive, which isn’t happening,” added Nawazuddin in his statement in the interview. The star actor was recently seen in the movie named ‘Haddi’. In the upcoming days, Siddiqui might be working with several top stars, one of them being Hrithik Roshan.

The actor revealed that the trio has discussed working together on a film.

“Intelligent Stubbornness”: Manoj Bajpayee on Chasing Dreams and Staying Relevant
How does the son of a farmer from a small village in Bihar rise to stardom in the bustling and competitive world of Mumbai’s film industry? For Manoj Bajpayee, the answer lies in being “intelligently stubborn.”
The versatile actor, known for roles ranging from Bhiku Mhatre in Satya to Srikant Tiwari in The Family Man, attributes his success to his ability to navigate challenging circumstances without losing sight of his dreams. Speaking to PTI, Bajpayee reflected on his journey, which began in the village of Belwa and led to a celebrated career in both mainstream and arthouse cinema.
“You have to be intelligently stubborn and audacious,” Bajpayee shared. “Circumstances and situations will test you constantly and make you doubt yourself. But commitment to your dreams is what keeps you going.”
After his breakthrough role in Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 underworld drama Satya, Bajpayee was inundated with offers to play similar roles. However, he was determined not to be typecast. “I was stubborn about not getting boxed into one type of role. The industry didn’t know what else to offer me, so they offered money. But I refused. I knew that if I became a villain, I might never escape that image,” he explained.
Bajpayee’s calculated defiance set him apart. Inspired by the careers of other actors like Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Kay Kay Menon, he charted a unique path, taking on diverse roles in films such as Shool, Gangs of Wasseypur, Aligarh, and Sonchiriya. His adaptability extended to digital platforms, with standout performances in Gulmohar and The Family Man.
Growing up as one of six siblings, Bajpayee dreamed of acting despite his family’s limited means. At 17, he moved to Delhi, pursued education to honor his mother’s wishes, and immersed himself in theatre before heading to Mumbai. His persistence bore fruit with a small role in Drohkaal (1994) and recognition in Bandit Queen. His big break came with Satya, which not only launched his career but also inspired countless others from Bihar to chase their dreams.
“It wasn’t just my village; many young people from Bihar gained the courage to step out of their comfort zones after Satya. It showed them that if I could do it, they could too,” he said.
Despite his success, Bajpayee remains connected to his roots in Belwa. “When I was there, I wanted to leave. Now that I’ve achieved my dreams, I feel drawn back.”
Bajpayee’s upcoming project, Despatch, where he plays investigative journalist Joy Bag, will premiere on ZEE5 on December 13. His journey, defined by resilience and intelligent stubbornness, continues to inspire dreamers across the country.
