Pratik Gandhi, who gained widespread recognition with Scam 1992, recently shared his perspective on the difficulties currently faced by the Hindi film industry. In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, the actor discussed Bollywood’s struggles, pointing out that audiences today have evolved much faster than the industry itself.
“I think there are multiple challenges, multiple places where they’ll have to focus right now. First is the actual scripts. People are… way beyond your thinking right now,” Gandhi observed. He attributed this shift in audience expectations to the easy access to international films and shows. “People may not understand the language, but it proves that a piece of art has no language barrier. If it is well-made and well-performed, it will be understood,” he added.
Emphasizing the need to trust the audience and embrace creativity, Gandhi expressed his concerns about the industry’s reliance on outdated formulas. “The biggest failure, I guess, is everybody is falling prey to the formula which never exists. If there was a formula, there would be one producer or director who has never given a flop,” he remarked.
Gandhi’s insights shed light on the growing need for Bollywood to move beyond conventional patterns and explore innovative storytelling that resonates with modern audiences.
