Imtiaz Ali hailed for his take on Bollywood’s downfall, says dreamers like him will always watch, make films – India TV
After cinema, Imtiaz Ali has now established his hold on the OTT platform as well. After Dr. Arora, Imtiaz is soon returning to the OTT platform with Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra starrer Amar Singh Chamkila. Imtiaz Ali was recently a part of FICCI Frames 2024, where he talked about his upcoming film. During this, in an interview given to the news website DNA, director Imtiaz Ali talked a lot about cinema. The award-winning director also gave a befitting reply to those who predicted the closure of cinema in India.
Cinemas will always run in India, says Imtiaz Ali
when Imtiaz Ali was asked about Bollywood being written off as several Hindi films flopped after COVID-19 in 2022, the director had a rather bigger take on this debate. “I have heard ten times that Bollywood will no longer work. Even when I had just entered the industry, people had said that theater was finished and would no longer work. When the VCR came, people said the same thing, even when color television came, people had the same opinion. Many times people have said that the cinema will be closed, but the cinema never closed. This is because of dreamers like us who both watch and make films, said the director.
