Art of cinema matters, not budget says Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Mumbai– Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, whose new film “Babumoshai Bandookbaaz” has released in theatres, says as an artiste he is more concerned about the art of cinema rather than focusing on its budget.
Nawazuddin shared the budget of “Babumoshai Bandookbaaz” over Twitter on Friday.
“People are talking about the budget of ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’, yes it’s a Rs 5 crore film including publicity and advertising, but for me it’s an art of cinema regardless of budget,” Nawazuddin posted.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), earlier headed by Pahlaj Nihalani, had demanded 48 cuts in “Babumoshai Bandookbaaz”, which has intimate scenes, to get an ‘A’ certificate. But it has been cleared by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) with eight “minor and voluntary cuts”.
Directed by Kushan Nandy. “Babumoshai Bandookbaaz” is an action film, also starring Bengali actress Bidita Bag.

Arjun Rampal an under directed actor: Ashim Ahluwalia
Mumbai–Director of the upcoming film “Daddy”, Ashim Ahluwalia believes that actor Arjun Rampal is an under directed actor and has a lot more potential.
“I think Arjun is very under directed actor, people haven’t directed him. I am sorry to say, but I just don’t see it. He has potential and I feel to actually maximise someone’s potential you need to know what they can offer, you have to be able to push them,” Ahluwalia said in a statement.
“If the director is always giving into the actor or the star then no one is going to direct them,” Ahluwalia added during the promotions of the film.
Arjun believes that “the relationship you have with your director” is of prime importance.
“An actor-director relationship is like a marriage that happens; the two of them have to be on the same page. A director has a rhythm and every good director that I have worked with and in every film that I have performed my best is because I caught their rhythm,” said Arjun.
