Anurag Basu talks about ‘Aashiqui 3’ production plans and Triptii Dimri’s exit
Anurag Basu reveals 'Aashiqui 3' production plans with Kartik Aaryan and talks about Triptii Dimir's exit from the project.
Filmmaker Anurag Basu often shares his views and opinions about the film industry. Recently, the ‘Barfi’ director drew parallels between the Hindi and Korean film industry. While he believes that both industries are similar because they are ‘young,’ he also notes a dichotomy between them. Basu iterates that while Hindi films’ viewership is only restricted to Indians, Korean films boast a global viewership.
Speaking with ANI, Anurag Basu said, “I think world cinema is noticing our films. But I think we have a long way to go because mainstream cinema still caters to the Indian diaspora and Indian audience. We still are far behind in getting a global audience. We only get an Indian audience globally. I think there is a long way to go.”

Continuing further, he added, “We only cater to the Indian audience. We are as young as the Korean Film Industry. But they have a global audience. People see their movies, we see their movies. Our movies are only seen by Indians. And a very handful of people who are passionate about cinema. We don’t cater globally. We only care about Friday, Saturday and Sunday, weekend, 100 crore, 500 crore, bas vahi tak. (that’s it).”
