From the archive record

Jackie Shroff: "Rajinikanth hi ek bada artist hai jiski picture dekhta hai, picture jaise bhi ho, par apni hindi film industry ka jo bhi artist ho kitna vbhi bada ho Film mein dum nahi hoga to". Jackie Shroff shared his views on controversies in cinema, recalling how films like Bombay created curiosity among audiences. He noted that controversies often attract attention and make people eager to watch a film, but they cannot guarantee success. According to Jackie, the real deciding factor is always the film’s content and quality. No matter how big a star is, if the film does not connect with the audience, it won’t work. He emphasised that in Bollywood, strong storytelling and engaging content matter more than hype or controversy.
