New Delhi: Bollywood studios are running in losses these days. With the shutting down of Disney India by UTV Motion pictures, it is rumored that Balaji Motion Pictures will be shutting down as well. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has also come out and stated why are these Bollywood Studios shutting down! While talking to CatchNews.com, Anurag said, “We had four Bollywood actors (Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan) in the Forbes highest paid actors whereas rest were Hollywood actors. The films starring the Hollywood actors earn in millions and billions but what our films earn at max is 300 crore. But still there are Indians in that list. So if you see the ratio on the list, business of the film vs income of the actor, there is a huge disparity.”



He also added, “Actors from the industry where film earns 300 crore is on the list and on the other hand, there are films which earn 1.2 billion in other industries but the actors are even below our actors on the list. So I hope you got where the issue is. I am not blaming the actors for this, all the blame should be passed on to the producers as they are ready to pay the actor such high amount. Why wouldn’t the actor take that money? If someone pays me, even I would take that. There are so many articles floating around the net wherein people have labelled Mohenjo Daro and Bombay Velvet as the biggest disasters and the blame in passed on these two films for the failure.”



He also had a talk with DNA and he said, “When I see the stories about studios shutting down and then there’s the image of Bombay Velvet right at the top, I do feel responsible. It hurts.”
