Ajay Devgn Talks About Bollywoods Struggles To Adapt Post

It's not that Bollywood films are not working. Films from all over the world... Some are working and some are not working. It could be Bollywood, it could be the South film industry or Hollywood. The situation is the same everywhere," he added.

Asked whether ticket pricing was responsible for lower footfall, the "Singham Again" actor said it wasn't so.

"I don't think that (ticket pricing) is the reason because if the audience is coming they are coming at the same price. I think the audience is deciding what film to watch and not to watch...

"The audience doesn't get attracted to (promotion). They want content. If your trailer or teaser (is liked by the audience), or if they like the songs, then the audience definitely comes. Basically, it all boils down to what they want to see and if they are getting it in the trailer or not," he said.

According to makers, "Raid 2" will celebrate the "unsung heroes of the Income Tax Department" and narrate a true case from their books. It will also feature Vaani Kapoor and Rajat Kapoor in pivotal roles with Riteish Deshmukh in the role of the antagonist.

The film is backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak under their banners T-Series and Panorama Studios, respectively. It will arrive in theatres on May 1.

We're still struggling. We're not sure (about) what the audience would come in (theatres) for and what not. But we think we have an idea of how the audiences have evolved and changed during the pandemic. Also, too much exposure of international (content). We are adapting to it and that's how we are also changing... (we are) trying to figure things out," the actor told reporters here.

Devgn, 56, said the problem is not restricted to Hindi cinema.
