MEDDLING FILM STARS ARE DESTROYING BOLLYWOOD

-

A BIG reason why Bollywood films keep failing is that establishe­d actors have too much power and are constantly interferin­g. Whether it is writing, directing, or marketing, these clueless stars regularly blow up projects by taking control of areas they have limited knowledge in. The spectacula­r failure of Laal Singh Chaddha is a perfect example, with lead star Aamir Khan (left) reportedly taking charge of marketing, instead of leaving it to the profession­als and that perhaps explains why there was little buzz before its release. It is almost certain he also played a role in the directing and editing, instead of just focusing on acting.
