Sanjay Dutt admits the film industry is DIVIDED, requests to be together as a family again: 'Dukh hota hai ki...'
Sanjay Dutt
, the
Bollywood
star known for his memorable roles in action and comedy films, is back with his latest project, '
The Bhootnii
'. But while promoting the film, it wasn't just his character that got people talking it was his heartfelt words about the state of the film industry. Speaking openly at a recent event, Dutt expressed concern over Bollywood's growing division.
'It is disheartening that the industry has been divided'
Dutt's words at the launch event of 'The Bhootnii's' new song 'Aaye Re Baba' reflected on how the industry he once called a "family" is now fragmented. "Dukh hota hai ki industry aise batt chuki hai jo maine kabhi dekha nahi tha. Humlog ek family the, aur hamesha rahenge, thoda bhatak gaye hai," he said. (It is disheartening that the industry has been divided, which I had not seen before. We have been a family, and will always be, but we have gone a little off-track lately.")
A message for industry bigwigs: Every movie matters
As the conversation shifted to the importance of every film, Dutt urged the industry to remember the value of all projects, big or small. "Main yahi kehna chahta hoon ki har picture important hoti hai ye industry ke liye aur har picture ko woh mauka dena chahiye." (I just want to say that every movie is important for the industry, and every movie should be given an opportunity.)
A heartfelt plea for support: 'Let's be together again'
While talking about his own film 'The Bhootnii', Dutt also expressed his frustration about the lack of promotional support the movie has received. However, he remained optimistic about its future. "Chalo 'Bhootnii' ko itna zor nahi diya ja raha hai lekin mujhe pata hai ye picture bahut aage niklegi." (Okay, 'Bhootnii' may not be getting much attention, but I know this film will do well.)
Dutt went on to make a passionate plea for the film industry to return to its roots. 'I request the film industry to be together as a family again and let's help each other so that the film industry grows,' he said.

Is it worth watching Akshay Kumar-Abhishek Bachchan's Housefull 5B after 5A? The only difference is…
Housefull 5, released on 6th June, 2025, features large stellar star cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Nana Patekar, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir. Meanwhile, the makers have strategically released it in two different formats, which is A and B. We are going to tell you whether you should watch the B version after completing its A part, or not. Housefull Series Continues Its Cringefest As per the reviews, this film is just another example of why you should not touch iconic franchises and let it rest forever, because after its second installment, this franchise has presented nothing except ample amount of cringe jokes and piss poor writing, handled by Farhad Samji who can now apply to enter his name in Guiness Book of World Records for making films pathetic. The entire film offers you nothing except sleazy jokes and a male-centered environment where female actresses were only kept for objectifying their body parts, which the writer thinks will make the audience sit and watch. This multi-starrer project is a complete waste of opportunity and a lesson for other filmmakers, because here, captain of this ship, Tarun Mansukhani , has tried to fit every actor in any scene without logic, which underutilized their actual potential. This film tries hard to make us laugh with its jokes and sequences, but fails. However, Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt tried hard to bring their old comic avatar back on the big screen, but due to a lack of writing and delivery, it always bounced back. The Difference between 5A and 5B There is no difference between the parts, except the last 8 minutes. In Part A, killers are someone else, while in Part B, just to show the potential of an actress, makers have made another actor a killer. If you have already watched part A, then you don't need to witness this cringefest again; you can wait for its OTT release. At last, we just want to say that Bollywood should now learn from their mistakes because it's high time to prove the potential otherwise due to these kind of films and their ventures, we don't witness finest and best comedy-drama films.
