Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who recently appeared in the movie Ajey: The Untold Story of a Monk, has opened up about the reasons behind the box office failures of films.
In an interview with IANS, the Hera Pheri actor reflected on changing audience habits, technological advancements, and other key factors, sharing his insights on why some movies fail to draw viewers to theatres. Speaking about the dry phase of the industry, Paresh said, “Yes, I travelled a long way. There was no mobile, no piracy. Technology can download any film. Your driver can wait for you and watch the film in 2 hours. Why would you go to the theatre? There are many factors. This is also one of the factors.”
