The
Hindi
film
industry
has
been
going
through
a
crisis
of
sorts
in
the
eyes
of
the
public.
Although
debates
on
nepotism
and
many
of
the
industry's
shortcomings
were
happening
before
too,
a
widespread
backlash
against
the
industry
was
witnessed
only
after
the
death
of
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
Those
who
are
a
part
of
the
industry
argue
that
the
industry
is
a
soft
target
for
extremely
negative
criticism.
They
also
say
that
the
industry
is
constantly
trying
to
better
itself,
and
it
isn't
fair
to
accuse
it
as
being
a
dark
den
of
discriminatory
practices
and
alleged
illicit
activities.
Actor
Tusshar
Kapoor,
who
has
grown
up
in
the
film
industry,
observes
that
the
current
crisis
in
Bollywood
is
a
part
of
the
process
it
has
always
gone
through.
He
points
out
that
it
has
been
through
a
lot
worse
than
this
and
will
soon
overcome
the
present
turmoil
too.
"I
think
it's
a
part
of
the
process,
given
the
extraordinary
circumstances
we
are
in.
These
kind
of
challenges
also
come,
Bollywood
ne
toh
isse
bhi
zyaada
dekha
hai.
A
flood
had
come
once
there
was
a
strike,
then
swine
flu,
and
Covid
19
too,
there
have
been
so
many
mountains
Bollywood
has
really
crossed,
so
many
hurdles
they
have
overcome.
This
is
also
something
that
too
shall
pass," said
Tusshar,
in
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times.
Talking
about
audiences,
he
said,
"They
are
still
hungry
for
good
entertainment,
once
something
good
and
worthwhile
comes
up.
You
see,
the
love
people
have
for
Bollywood
will
still
be
intact."
The
key
to
surviving
these
kinds
of
challenges,
Tusshar
argues,
is
to
be
united.
"We
have
always
stuck
together,
right
from
the
time
of
Hope
86,
all
industry
actors
had
come
together
to
organise
and
raise
funds
then.
Now
too,
when
such
times
come,
the
industry
comes
together.
The
fact
that
it
is
so
important,
is
why
we
have
to
go
through
this.
It's
just
a
sign
of
how
loved
the
industry
is.
It's
like
the
strongest
voice
in
the
country,"
he
said.
Talking
about
work,
Tusshar
recently
co-produced
the
Akshay
Kumar
and
Kiara
Advani-starrer
Laxmii,
which
released
on
the
OTT
platform
Disney+
Hotstar.
It
is
a
remake
of
the
hit
Tamil
movie
Kanchana,
both
directed
by
Raghava
Lawrence.
