Manoj Bajpayee Calls Budget Hype Around Big Films a Publicity Stunt
Manoj Bajpayee on Ramayana and Varanasi Big Budgets: Manoj Bajpayee spoke openly about the budgets of 'Ramayana' and 'Varanasi'. He also criticized the trend of exaggerating film budgets. The actor advised audiences on what they should prioritize in a film.
Big movies such as Ranbir Kapoor's 'Ramayana' and Mahesh Babu's 'Varanasi' are getting lots of attention. Yet, people focus more on their massive budgets rather than the actual stories. Recently, actor Manoj Bajpayee chimed in, urging audiences not to sweat the film's earnings or how much it cost. So folks should just enjoy the movies for what they are.
In a report in the Hindustan Times, when Manoj Bajpayee was asked about the makers of films such as Ramayana and Varanasi heavily promoting their huge budgets, he said that it was all a publicity stunt. This tactic has been used for the past 15 years to portray films as hits.
To explain to the audience, Manoj Bajpayee said, "This disease has become so widespread that even ordinary people I meet at the airport start asking me about the film's earnings figures. I tell them, 'This money isn't coming into your bank account. The audience's only connection to the film should be whether they liked it or not. The 500-600 crore rupees that the makers talk about doesn't benefit the audience. The film's business is solely the producer's job."
