Randeep Hooda Slams The Copycat Culture Of Bollywood Producers

Bollywood is experiencing a creative slump, and Randeep Hooda knows the exact reason.

In a recent media conclave, Randeep Hooda talked about the current creative crisis in Bollywood alongside Hansal Mehta. When asked why re-releases are earning more than new releases, Randeep Hooda bluntly replied that nobody is willing to experiment.

Without taking names of big movies, Randeep maintained that if a trend succeeds at the box office, everyone will blindly copy it instead of trying something new. The actor cum filmmaker also revealed his admiration for the southern regions of Indian cinema, especially Tollywood. According to him, elements like connecting with the masses and keeping their heroes rooted and relatable is something he is proud about, in stark comparison to Bollywood.

Randeep Hooda had made his directorial debut with Swatantrya Veer Savarkar last year. Based on the iconic but controversial revolutionary Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the movie received mixed reviews, but eventually manage to emerge as a moderate success, earning nearly 32 crores worldwide on a low budget of 20 crores. Hooda will now be seen in the much awaited action drama JAAT, where he plays the prime antagonist Ranatunga. The movie will release on April 10.
