Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah has compared Bollywood to Nazi Germany by claiming that the recently released “big-budget movies” by big production houses had a “jingoistic” agenda.
“The kind of big-budget films that are coming, the big ones cannot disguise the jingoistic agenda,” he said.
Speaking to NDTV on Monday (13 September), the veteran actor asserted that production houses are being “encouraged by the government to make pro-government films”.
“Filmmakers who were outstanding, world-class, were rounded up and asked to make films propagating the Nazi philosophy.”
