Prolific filmmaker Sudhir\u00a0Mishra is deeply saddened by the nepotism debate which has overtaken Sushant\u00a0Singh Rajput\u2019s death. Says\u00a0Sudhir, \u201cI\u2019ve met\u00a0Sushant\u00a0socially. He was shy, always smiling, filled with ideas. I wish we worked together. Like him I am an outsider. I gave up my option of studying psychology and practise clinical psychology in favour of being a filmmaker. I haven\u2019t regretted my decision even once in the last 35 years. Mumbai welcomes talent from anywhere, be it Patna or Bhopal. It\u2019s not about where you come from and which family you belong to. It\u2019s about what sort of talent you bring to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sudhir\u00a0cites Sushant\u2019s example of success from the outside. \u201cSushant himself is an example of an outsider making it big. I\u2019ve worked with an industry girl like\u00a0Kareena Kapoor Khan in Chameli<\/em>. She is an amazing actor. And I\u2019ve just completed a\u00a0web series with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is another fine example of an outsider getting his dues in\u00a0Bollwood. Then there is someone phenomenal like\u00a0Rishi Kapoor\u00a0whom I nearly worked with a few years ago. The film didn\u2019t get made. But his dedication, his drive and spirit were inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n As a struggler\u00a0in the\u00a0Mumbai film industry, Sudhir\u00a0Mishra\u00a0remembers hanging out in Bandra with other migrants. \u201cThere were dreamers and strugglers\u00a0from\u00a0Bihar\u00a0and UP. Every time a big car would pass and splash dirty water on us, one of the migrants would mutter expletives about \u2018Bade baap\u00a0ka\u00a0beta.\u2019 I would remind the migrant that one day the \u2018beta\u2019 could be his and the \u2018bada baap\u2019 could be him. Anything can happen in this city.\u00a0Mumbai welcomes and respects talent, no matter where it comes from. To accuse the city and\u00a0Bollywood\u00a0of favouring a privileged few is wrong. Would you say Raj\u00a0Kapoor\u00a0was an undeserving success because he came from a film family. Whether it was Raj or Rishi or Kareena\u00a0or Ranbir\u2026they had the talent and they worked hard to earn their success.\u201d<\/p>\n Sudhir\u00a0feels\u00a0Bollywood\u00a0as a concept must now disappear. \u201cWe can make films anywhere, why just\u00a0Mumbai? You have been writing about Hindi cinema from Patna for forty years. We don\u2019t have to look at\u00a0Mumbai\u00a0as the epicentre of Hindi cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Anubhav Sinha to produce an anthology based on COVID Pandemic, collaborates with Sudhir Mishra, Hansal Mehta, Ketan Mehta & Subhash Kapoor<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Catch us for latest Bollywood News<\/a>, New Bollywood Movies<\/a> update, Box office collection<\/a>, New Movies Release <\/a>, Bollywood News Hindi<\/a>, Entertainment News<\/a>, Bollywood News Today<\/a> & upcoming movies 2020 <\/a> and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nBOLLYWOOD NEWS<\/h2>\n
