Recently, the audience saw the South film industry reaching the global film festival Cannes. Seeing this, actress Sargun Mehta raises the question of why there aren’t any Punjab films not appreciated at Cannes. Bollywood Hush got in a candid chat with the popular Indian actress who is soaring high in the Punjab film industry.
Talking about the Cannes film festival and the Punjab film fraternity the actress said, “With the south industry making a show of strength at this year’s festival, what do you think stops the Punjabi industry from reaching that level? Though Punjabi films have a huge global following, frankly I don’t know why we haven’t reached Cannes yet. This time when I saw the south industry making its presence at Cannes, I thought why not us? It’s a question that has come into my mind quite recently. Maybe we were all just so consumed with what was happening with our own industry that we were not thinking bigger and beyond. But, this is going to be something that we are going to be rooting for very soon.”
Actress Sargun Mehta:
Sargun went on to say, “I think as the industry evolves, so does the acceptance of the people. What’s happening right now is that we are playing with our flavour, with the culture that we have. And we are attaching more and more audiences to us every day. There’s going to be a point when people will accept new genres. In fact, even when I did Qismat, everybody said that it wouldn’t work in Punjab. Because it was not a typical comedy film that Punjab was very used to. That film became one of the biggest blockbusters and then there was its second film. So, when you give people content with a lot of meat and something that they can enjoy also, it doesn’t matter what genre it is.”
So, this was all about the actress Sargun Mehta. Stay connected to Bollywood Hush for more Bollywood Entertainment News.
