During an interview, Vivek Agnihotri recalled a time when he was fed up with the ‘cliché’ films of Bollywood. The filmmaker said that this journey started long ago when I made Buddha in a traffic jam.
There was a time when I was fed up with the way Bollywood worked. Because everything was so star driven that no one cared about the stories. Continuing his point, the director said, then there came a time when films became only entertainment, entertainment and entertainment.
According to the filmmaker, if films were only entertainment, there would be no difference between films and circuses.
