Episode Details

Bollywood is facing turbulent times, with over 40 big-budget projects shelved or stalled—double the pre-pandemic numbers. Big names like Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, Akshay Kumar, and Deepika Padukone are affected as rising star fees, weak scripts, and the waning bankability of A-list actors weigh heavily on the industry. After a promising bounce back in 2023, uncertainty now looms large. Join host Anirban Chowdhury as he delves into the reasons behind this freeze with ET’s Rajesh Naidu, Suniel Wadhwa of Karmic Films and producer Vikram Malhotra of Abundantia Entertainment.
