Ram Gopal Varma on Bollywood after Covid
Ram Gopal Varma on Bollywood after Covid. Ram Gopal Varma, speaking to scribes, analysed the transformation of Bollywood after covid and also compared it with Tollywood.
He said The only thing about Bombay is there’s a bit more of a corporate culture, so accountability and discipline are definitely stronger here, like 100 percent.”
He added, “Bollywood, especially when it comes to accountability and discipline, has started following many processes only in the last two or three years, post-COVID. Before that, it was mostly all flops for years, and South Indian cinema basically took over Indian films. That’s even been covered in national media. They need to see the balance sheet. How much you made and why. It’s all about accountability.”
He said, "Telugu films follow a producer-driven model. Independent producers bear the full financial burden of failures. Neither directors nor lead actors face penalties for delays or extra costs. Projects often take years and spend huge sums without guaranteed returns."
