Amitabh hates 'Bollywood'!

For someone who is considered the undisputed ruler of the Hindi film world, Amitabh Bachchan certainly hates 'Bollywood' with a vengeance. Before you get the wrong idea, let us clarify that AB has a major aversion to the word 'Bollywood', because he thinks it is derogatory for the Hindi film industry to be unfavourably compared to Hollywood - from where the word is derived, you may guess. In fact, he believes that "A lot of people in Hollywood are also copying Bollywood films," Bachchan says. "There is a man in Spielberg's studio who makes it his sole business to watch Hindi films and remake them. Why, now they're even remaking 'Munnabhai MBBS'! Let me tell you that George Lucas' 'Star Wars' series is nothing but a take off on our 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabharata'. So why are we blaming the Hindi film industry for copying?" Why, indeed? Maybe Shakespeare was wrong after all - there is something in a name, don't you think?

this is true...
AB as well as SRK are against the name "Bollywood" they rather want it to be Indian Film Industry or something original and desi...

here 2 things are to be noted:

1. AB & SRK have same views 😉
2. Onky name of the industry would be different rest all would be same as that of Hollywood🤣
