Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, also feels that Bollywood needs to work harder, "The more regional cinema will threaten us, Bollywood will work harder. We are threatened from everywhere because we are more mediocre as compared to everybody else. We have to get rid of our mediocrity and pull up our socks and make better films.''
