‘It’s The Unfortunate Time We Are Living In’: Vivek Agnihotri

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri recently shared his views on the current state of the industry. The director feels that a reputed star has become a necessity for convincing producers for a film. He stated, “People nowadays need figures… Stars sell a film”.

According to PTI, Vivek shared, “If there are no stars in your film, nobody will look at you. If you have Sunny Leone in the film you will get hundreds of dollars but if you have a honest story to tell it’s difficult to find producers. It’s the unfortunate time we are living in”. He is currently waiting for the release of his film ‘Buddha in a Traffic Jam’.

Talking about the film, the director revealed, “I did not speak to anybody from the film industry. I could have got help but I didn’t want to. I would want people to acknowledge and appreciate the film without stars”. ‘Buddha in a Traffic Jam’ will be released on May 6 and stars Anupam Kher, Aanchal Dwivedi, Mahie Gill and Pallavi Joshi.
