Bollywood actor Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, son of Anil Kapoor, voiced his concerns over Hindi cinema’s declining quality. Taking to X, he criticized the industry for green-lighting outdated films, stating, “It’s 2025, and the films being approved belong in the 1980s—and not even the good ones.”

A Plea for Fresh, High-Concept Cinema

💡 On Bollywood’s Stagnation:
“Bollywood shouldn’t just be about recycled stars and formulaic films.”

💰 On Budgeting Smartly:
“Keep costs low, and audiences will come. We made Thar for ₹20 crore—it looks better than many big-budget films because we spent wisely.”

🎬 On His Struggles:
“Doing unconventional films takes years. If backed, I promise to make unforgettable films.”

A Call for Change

Kapoor’s remarks sparked debate about Bollywood’s lack of innovation, with many supporting his push for low-cost, high-quality storytelling. As an actor known for offbeat projects like Bhavesh Joshi Superhero and Thar, he remains committed to breaking the mold.

Will Bollywood listen to his wake-up call?
