Veteran Bollywood actor Saurabh Shukla, who was recently spotted at the closing ceremony of sixth Jagran Film Festival in National Capital, cleared up the air between art and commercial cinema.
Speaking exclusively to ANI, the 'Satya' actor said, "One should not get confused between the two as there is nothing called commercial cinema or art cinema. 'Sholay' movie had all the art and yet it was commercially successful and even movies like 'Barfi' and 'Jolly LLB' were non- commercial cinema, however, they made business and became commercial."
The 52-year-old actor added that it is also belief of the market and if one ropes-in actor who believes in the script then the market starts believing that it is a commercial venture and there are times when movies have been made without a big star but then they lack a massive opening at the box-office.
The 2015 edition of Jagran Film Festival was closed by Nila Madhab Panda's movie 'Kaun Kitne Paani Mein" starring Saurabh, Kunal Kapoor and Gulshan Grover in the lead roles.
