Like many film industry veterans, 74 -year -old actor Shabana Azmi believes that Hindi cinema is going through “phase of transition”. While he agrees that OTT platforms have helped filmmakers, she also recognizes below the arrival of digital platforms. She often discusses the lack of impressive material in today’s films with her husband, screenwriter Javed Akhtar.

In a special chat with India Today Digital, Shabana, which was last seen in the Netflix series ‘Dabba Cartel’, said that when he and Javed are receptive to the changing story methods in Hindi cinema, both of them accept the lack of good stories.

“We are definitely undergoing a phase of infection. We are still detecting the arrival of OTT platforms,” ​​Shabana said before adding us, “Oats, at one level, helped us, but on the other hand, we have seen a decline in revenue because people feel that if a film will be on OTT in a few weeks, they will watch it.”

When we mentioned an experienced actor, who depicted in films acclaimed by reviewers like Aag and Arth, Films lack the value of remembering and repeating today Due to the storytelling and unmarried dialogues, he interrupted to ask, “Do you remember any song? Do you remember any music?”

“Everything moves at a crazy speed. You enjoy something for a moment, but need to eat for a moment,” Shabana insisted, while insisting on that material that the king is the king and more thoughts need to tell the story.

Writers can have good dialogues for a scene, Shabana said, but without a strong story, for what purpose do the dialogues work?

“Javed told me,” It’s okay if you want to change the way you tell a story, but for this, you need a story. ” This is without ensuring the internal decoration of your home that the pillars are in the right place. Asked Shabana.

However, Shabana, who recently portrayed impressive roles like Jamini Chatterjee (Rocky and Rani’s Prem Kahni) and Sheela (Dabba Cartel), admitted that senior and senior and senior Married actresses are being provided with better roles than before.

She said that ‘actresses are treated with much more acceptance than before.’

“Earlier, especially for women, her shelf life was very young. It was once unimaginable for an actress to marry and consider acting after having children. But people like Alia Bhatt and others have broken the mold.

Before concluding the conversation, we asked Shabana Azmi which stage of her life he would like to portray on the silver screen if a film was ever made about her.

“All of them,” Shabana responded fast. He said, “One grows up with everything – friend, experience … I never afraid to make mistakes, and it has allowed me to enter into unwanted areas.”
