Actor Chunky Panday, who’s receiving a whole lot of reward for his streaming sequence Industry, has mentioned that the film industry could be very resilient and is aware of how to reinvent itself. The actor quoted examples from a bygone period when the film industry was written off within the time of VHS and tv however then it made a terrific comeback with film incomes Rs 100 crore and ultimately now eyeing Rs 1000 crore, working example is the lately launched Kalki 2898 AD.
Chunky, who essays the position of Rakesh Raman in Industry, mentioned: “In 1987, when VHS became a sensation, a lot of people predicted the film industry was going to shut down because everyone would switch to watching video cassettes. But, in turn, the industry only grew bigger. Then came television, and they said no one would go to theatres anymore, that people would just watch TV channels at home. But, to everyone’s surprise, our film industry expanded even further. Then came OTT platforms, and they said it was over.”
He further mentioned: “However, Baahubali, Pathaan, Jawan, War, and many other blockbusters proved them wrong, and how. The industry has expanded, improved, and evolved significantly. One of the greatest strengths of our industry is that we continue to reinvent ourselves to resonate with the audience, whose preferences keep shifting with time.” Industry is available to stream on Amazon Mini TV.
