Actor
Manoj
Bajpayee
feels
the
Indian
film
industry
is
going
through
a
good
phase.
"Nowadays
the
film
industry
is
going
through
a
good
phase.
As
an
actor,
we
always
want
to
work
in
good
films.
There
is
no
shortage
of
actors
and
directors
who
are
keen
to
do
good
work.
Likewise,
there
are
also
so
many
admirers
who
appreciate
the
films.
It
is
indeed
a
good
time
for
the
film
industry," Manoj
Bajpayee
told
IANS.
He
also
spoke
of
how
things
have
changed
for
small
budget
films.
"Small
budget
films
are
also
releasing
simultaneously
in
all
theatres.
I
remember
I
went
to
watch
Aakrosh
and
it
had
released
in
one
theatre
only.
I
changed
four
buses
to
watch
the
movie,"
he
recalled.
"Compared
to
then,
we
are
in
a
good
place
now.
Today,
the
audience
and
media
appreciate
and
promote
good
work.
I
feel
happy
that
media
supports
and
fights
for
good
films.

"Even
award
functions
are
being
criticised.
The
choice
of
the
audience
has
changed.
Social
media
is
very
much
active
today.
There
is
no
way
to
overlook
good
films.
I
wish
this
movement
never
ends."
He
said
Alif
is
a
relevant
film
for
today.
"The
film
raises
the
question
whether
religion
is
more
important
than
education
or
love.
We
are
in
a
time
when
religion
is
being
forcibly
implanted
into
every
situation.
So
this
point
has
been
questioned
in
the
film.
I
wish
people
start
debating
that,"
Manoj
added.
Directed
by
former
journalist
Zaigham
Imam,
the
movie
also
features
Neelima
Azeem.
The
narration
is
by
Jaya
Bachchan.
