Ajay Devgn Explains Bollywood Is Doing Well Compared to Hollywood On Koffee With Karan 8

Ajay Devgn will be seen talking to the host, Karan Johar, in this week's episode of Koffee With Karan 8. Ajay is accompanied by his friend and colleague, Rohit Shetty, for a blockbuster episode. Ajay Devgn and Karan Johar discuss the film fraternity of yesteryear and draw comparisons on how much things have changed.

Talking about the same, Karan Johar said, "Don't you think we came from a very different industry, though, of course, the industry can be harsh to failure? We’ve seen people’s attitudes change, but today, don't you think that when we look back in those days, that was a far more pure industry?"

Answering it, Ajay Devgn said, "Lots of warmth. Everybody was supporting everybody; people were happy watching each other's films. If they liked each other's films also, it's very different today. I have a chain of cinemas, so my feelings are very different. Any film that works, I am the most happy, but most of the people wait for that Friday when the numbers are not good, but they don't realise how it is harming us, and less films are being made, less investors are there. We are all struggling."

"Today people are talking about action films and how difficult it is to make an action film. You have to compete with Hollywood, and you have to compete with that kind of quality. What are the budgets we have compared to them? They are peanuts, and I am so happy that we have technicians today who can compete with them, practically coming near to them or competing with them with different kinds of budgets. I don't think Hollywood can do that. I am being very honest about it. I think we should have some kind of support from the audience. We do, but I think they should also understand this aspect of it. It's not very easy to sit in your living room and just say, Yeh toh kharaab film hai, yeh toh acchi film nahi hai, isse compare kar lo."

Koffee with Karan Season 8 is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
