Why do we feel inferior to Hollywood? asks Nawazuddin Siddiqui

The Bollywood star wonders why the Hindi film industry is obsessed with Hollywood
20 Aug, 2017

Many Bollywood stars aim to cross over to international waters and gain acclaim for their work, however, Nawazuddin Siddiqui doesn't understand the obsession with going to Hollywood.

In a recent interview, the Manto actor voiced concern about the Hindi film industry's 'inferiority complex' when it came to the West.

"I do not know why there is an inferiority complex among us... Everybody here wants to work in Hollywood and become big. I can't understand why we have this complex," said the actor.

Having given boxoffice hits like Gangs Of Wasseypur and The Lunchbox, Nawazuddin feels that their content should be lauded instead of compared to Hollywood films.

"When we watch films from a powerful country, we feel somewhat inferior. We think our films are not up to their level, but at present, we should feel proud of our films. We are making films with very good content here."

Nawazuddin will next be seen in Babumoshai Bandookbaaz

There is always something better than the other - a reality of life! But you are right, that doesn't mean one should feel inferior.
