Shabana Azmi Talks About Film Folks Always Being Considered 'Rich People' Who Don't Need Support, Says Industry Is Suffering

The lockdown has made everything uncertain. No one knows when the situation will revert to normal. The industries are facing a big jolt. And like the other industries, the film industry has been facing a lot of crisis. Well, the cinemas are not opening anytime soon. The new films will not be releasing now. All the latest releases have been stalled and people are mostly consuming entertainment content on the OTT.

It was during an interaction with the Times of India Shabana Azmi said, like the other industries the film industry needs support as well. She has been quoted in the report as saying, “Well, I think that is inevitable in this situation. This is something that we have to do, but it’s at a great cost to the film industry. I hope that this isn’t going to last for a long time because that will be very difficult for films, which are ready for release.”
