Actor Jaaved Jaaferi is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Mayasabha. During the promotions of his upcoming film, the actor took time to reflect on the changes in the industry. He shared his take on the changes that he has witnessed in the industry in his four-decade-long career. Notably, Jaaved has worked across different roles in the industry, and he feels that the industry is driven by changes like everything else in this world.
While speaking to IANS, Jaaved was asked if he had sensed anything similar to the claims made by the Oscar and Grammy-winning music composer A. R. Rahman about religious discrimination in the industry. The actor drifted the conversation towards larger industry practices, saying, "Industry has changed like the world has changed. Digital. Al. The world is changing. Fashion is changing, food is changing. Values are changing. Obviously, the narrative is changing. I just came to know recently that the attention span of Gen Z or Alpha is 6 seconds".
