Anurag Kashyap feels pan-India film is a massive scam: ‘Money goes into unreal sets, only 1% of these films work’ | Bollywood News

Anurag Kashyap has often expressed his reservations against the phenomenon of “pan-India” film, which became a trend after the breakout success of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali franchise. Kashyap feels producers are only replicating the same formula, while investing huge money in every project, which are mostly failing at the box office. In an interaction with The Hindu, Kashyap said, “For me, pan-India is a massive scam. Pan-India is a term. A film is pan-India if it performs pan-India. How can a film be pan-India before it’s even made? The film goes into production for three to four years. A lot of people are involved in the film. So their lifestyle also depends on the film for three to four years. So all the money doesn’t go into the film. The story is the same, the actors are the same, the money goes into these massive, unreal sets, which doesn’t make sense.” Also Read | Anurag Kashyap feels pan-India is a massive scam: ‘Money goes into unreal sets, only 1% of these films work’ Story continues below …
