Tisca Chopra says Bollywood is 'afraid' of taking risks
What's the story
Actor-director Tisca Chopra recently spoke about the industry's fear of taking creative risks. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, she said, "We are very afraid. Nobody wants to take a chance. We keep doing the same thing with a little twist." "The audience is not entertaining it anymore. Whenever you bring something new with conviction, people accept it."
Writing woes
Chopra highlighted the root cause of the issue
Chopra further emphasized that writing is the core issue with Hindi cinema today. She said, "The problem is that we are watering the fruits and not the roots, which is writing. The work has become extremely shallow." "You need to give time to your writers and freedom to brainstorm ideas. We don't nourish writers."
