"There's no star power anymore", says Shreyas Talpade! Fri May 10th, 2024
When it comes to delighting the audience with his amazing comedy timing and powerful dialogue delivery, Shreyas Talpade is back to doing what he does best.
 
The actor discussed star power and how even big names these days can't deliver hits one after the other when talking about his next film.
 
He said in a media chat that the public used to fervently follow their Bollywood celebrities in the past and attend their films in large numbers, regardless of whether they were hits or busts. However, it isn't occurring right now.
 
When questioned why he thinks the scenario has changed over the years, Shreyas Talpade told, “Log thak gaye hai. Log ab trailer mein pehchan lete hai ki kya hone wala hai. Mujhey ye film k liye jana hai k nhi jana hai. (The audience is now tired. They look at the trailer and judge whether the film is worth watching in theatre or not.)”
 
The Housefull 2 actor mentioned his next film Kartam Bhugtam, saying that the same applies to all of his projects. “Hum chahe jitna film k baare bol de, jab trailer aaega, log jo theatre jaane wal ehai vo dekhenge and decide karenge ki mujhey ye film Friday ko dekhni hai ya Friday ruk ka kuch work of mouth aaega toh Saturday jaunga. Ya Sunday ko kuch karne ko nhi hai toh jaunga yan ahi jaunga.(No matter how much we promote, when the trailer comes, people will decide if they want to watch it on a Friday, wait for word of mouth, or maybe watch the film on Sunday at cinema halls. They might not watch it at all. They will decide after the trailer.)”
 
He continued, remembering how, in his early years, he had likewise relied on word-of-mouth recommendations to see movies on a big screen. Talpade continued by saying that celebrity power wasn't the only reason why movies weren't always huge hits in the past. “Rajesh Khanna sir ki line se filmein hit hui thi, phir ek time ke baad filmey nahi chali toh nahi chali. (Rajesh Khanna’s movies were a hit back-to-back. But there came a time when nothing worked)."
 
He further revealed, "So, that has been happening from the time we had films, and it will happen in the future also. It's our duty to make sure that we make films that the audience can relate to and enjoy,” the Golmaal 3 actor concluded. The forthcoming biographical political drama Emergency features the actor as well.
