Let us tell you that Nawazuddin Siddiqui spoke about the growing insecurity in Bollywood and said, ‘In our industry, the same thing is repeated for five years continuously. Then, when people get bored, they finally let it go. Insecurity has really increased a lot. They think that if a formula is working, then use it. And what became even more pathetic was that it started having 2, 3, 4 sequels.’

Talking about the issue in industry, the actor said, ‘Just like bankruptcy, this must be creative corruption. Our Bollywood industry has been a thief from the beginning, it has stolen stories. 3, 4 sequels are being made. This is creative bankruptcy, just like bankruptcy of money. A lot of creativity is poverty. Our industry has been stealing from the beginning. We have stolen songs, we have stolen stories.’
