Tigmanshu Dhulia on groupism

Actor and director Tigmanshu Dhulia recently spoke about the existence of two strong groups in Bollywood, who have not been delivering good work. In a recent interview with a leading news daily, the director was asked about AR Rahman’s recent revelation about the existence of groups in Bollywood. He said that he used to contemplate whether something of that sort existed but now he is of the stance that it does exist. He said that in some places, good work can be churned out despite groupism.

Tigmanshu Dhulia said that some groups like Excel have produced good work overtime and groupism is not bad as long as they deliver fresh work. He was also of the opinion that if people close their eyes and only work with certain people, they will not be able to find new talent.

The director also revealed that there are two groups that hold the power but do not take up the responsibility that comes with it and end up delivering mediocre work. He also specified that the two groups in the industry did not take cinema forward even though they were capable of changing the taste of the people. They did nothing for the art of cinema but made money which is great and essential to some extent.
