“This Is The Turning Point For The Industry, Youngsters Should Be Given More Opportunities” – Suniel Shetty
Oof. That one hits hard. But, YRF and Aditya Chopra are taking the old-school route. Real emotions. Real storytelling. Real risks.
“That’s why I talk about YRF. That’s why we talk about Aditya Chopra. He makes films like a ‘maker’. Today their box office success comes from that, and that’s the beauty.”
And that, honestly, is the magic. YRF is still focused on telling a good story. They’re launching fresh faces, trusting expert directors like Mohit Suri to go deep into emotion, and letting the film speak for itself.
The success of Saiyaara isn’t just a win for its cast and crew. It’s also a loud, clear reminder that audiences still crave real stories. Shetty summed it up perfectly when he said –
“Maybe this is the turning point for the industry, where producers feel that yes, youngsters should be given more opportunities.”
