Everyone is chasing unrealistic targets, trying to make the next Rs 500 or Rs 800 crore film. The creative atmosphere is gone.” Anurag Kashyap exits “Toxic” Bollywood and moves to Bengaluru pointed out that the constant pursuit of huge profits leaves little room for artistic expression, making the industry more about commercial success than innovation.
