News India Live, Digital Desk: We often see film stars amidst glamor and heavy glitter. We think that their life is very easy, but the things said by Emraan Hashmi bring out the ‘insecurity’ of the film industry which people hide. According to Imran, in today’s era, actors are more worried about “what people will think” or “that someone might get angry” rather than choosing their character.
This ‘woke brigade’ and the crisis of creativity
Emraan Hashmi has directly targeted those people who make everything ‘offensive’ on social media. He named it “Woke Brigade”. Imran says that making films today has become very risky because instead of looking at creativity, people only look for what can be controversial. In his view, this pressure to get it “political correctness” is tying the hands of filmmakers and actors.
Insecure stars and the temptation of ‘screen time’
Another shocking aspect that Emraan shared is the insecurity among film stars. He clearly said that today many big stars are afraid of doing films which show the bitter truth of the society or in which their characters are a little dark. Imran asks – “How many people are there today who have the courage to be a part of films like ‘Haq’?”
While actors are often focused on protecting their ‘publicity’ and ‘image’, Emraan is choosing roles that give him satisfaction as an actor and not just increase the bank balance.
We need guts to show the truth
According to Emraan Hashmi, if we keep making only ‘safe’ films, then new and great work will never come out. He also stressed that stars have to get over the fear of what a small section of the society is saying about them on social media. Emraan has always been known for playing characters that have a different depth and grey-shade to them. For him, a good film is one that mirrors the society and not just what he wants to see.
