"There is this problem but it is not only with horror. Every film is facing this problem. More and more films are being made for Mumbai and Delhi. The heart of India is generally being ignored. We have left the single screens behind. Now, for a film-maker like me, who wants to adhere to both kinds of audience, it will become impossible to make a film and I end up making a film for the multiplexes because that is where the money is."

When asked if there's a solution to help single screen theatres to get back to its glory days, he said, "There is no solution to it. It has become a tale of two countries. India is divided in cities - basically Bombay, Delhi, Bangalore and pockets of Ahmedabad, Surat and Chandigarh. Unfortunately, very few are making decision for too many and that's where our money is."

The director summed it up by saying, "If you want to make films for money, you have to make it for multiplexes." What do you guys feel? Is there a way out for the single screen theatres to be back in profit? Please leave your comments!
