Many
controversies
have
rocked
the
Hindi
film
industry
post
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
Many
feel
that
the
industry
has
been
unnecessarily
dragged
down
by
incessant
name
calling
and
finger
pointing.
On
the
question
of
whether
the
controversies
rocking
the
industry
will
have
an
impact
on
movie
goers,
filmmaker
Vikram
Bhatt
says
no.
He
believes
that
the
issues
will
not
last
in
audience's
memory
for
too
long.
"Nothing
has
happened
that
would
stay
in
the
audience
memory
for
so
long.
It's
not
like
suddenly
anti-nationals
have
been
found
in
the
film
industry.
To
say
that
the
audience's
faith
has
been
shaken
up
(is
not
right).
That
would
have
been
shaken
up
if
bad
films
were
coming
in
and
people
didn't
have
to
buy
tickets
anyhow," said
Vikram,
speaking
to
Hindustan
Times.
He
also
pointed
that
the
industry
has
been
marred
with
so
many
scandals
in
the
past,
which
have
been
followed
for
gossip
and
rumour,
but
that
hasn't
stopped
audience
from
watching
films.
"So,
I
think
this
whole
phase
is
going
to
be
forgotten
sooner
than
they
think," he
said.
Vikram
hopes
that
the
focus
of
news
media
shifts
to
more
important
matters
such
as
the
pandemic.
"As
someone
who's
interested
in
news
for
that
matter,
I
hope
Covid
-
which
is
the
most
important
right
now
-
finds
more
space
on
news
channels
rather
than
to
what's
going
on.
Now,
these
channels
are
finding
themselves
over
the
spotlight
of
TRP
issue,"
he
said.
He
went
on
to
call
the
situation
a
'theatre
of
ridiculous' and
noted
how
the
entertainment
industry,
whose
job
is
to
entertain,
has
become
a
strange
source
of
entertainment
in
the
Covid
era.
