Mumbai Apr 23 PTI Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui believes the trend of larger-than-life heroes has made a comeback in Indian cinema even though he is not a fan of such filmsThe 47-year-old actor said he had assumed that post the pandemic the taste and preference of the audiences will be changed owing to the exposure to some fine content from regional and international film industries I felt people have watched Korean Spanish or Malayalam content and when theatres reopen I thought the taste of audience will change but you can see what kind of films are working Siddiqui said on Friday night at the Times Network India Economic ConclaveToday the trend of 70s 80s and 90s cinema is coming back Like the grand entry of the hero on which people say wow and crores are spent on the introduction scene of the hero It is good I do not enjoy this kind of cinema It depends on person to person he addedHis comments come at a time when movies with swashbuckling protagonists like Akshay Kumars Sooryavanshi Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa RRR featuring Ram Charan and Jr NTR and Yash-headlined KGF Chapter 2 have done tremendous business at the box officeSiddiqui known for films such as Gangs of Wasseypur Photograph Raman Raghav 20 and Manto said the kind of films he would like to be associated with arent being made in great numbersThe kind of cinema that I want to do it is difficult to get more opportunities like that Today the kind of films that are doing well is something that is meant for kids That is the fashion todayThe kind of cinema that I like has a lesser number of audiences We may get awards and recognition for it when we go internationally but here the acceptance is not much he saidThe actor lamented the lack of opportunities for the local talent especially in projects with small town storiesHe said even though filmmakers shoot mainly in towns like Lucknow Jaipur Bhopal among others the talent from these places are not getting opportunities to be part of projectsEven though there is so much work today but I do see actors from theatres facing difficulties and those who come from small villages who have taken formal training in acting still find it difficult to get workFor instance for a gangster or small town-based series those who speak in English are often cast but those who are actually from that region dont get these offers he added PTI KKP RB SHD SHD
