For the unversed, a lot happened last year. Actor Sushant Singh Rajput passed away as he hanged himself to death at his apartment in Bandra. This created a stir across the Industry with actors like Salman Khan, Sooraj Pancholi, Farhan Akhtar being dragged into the matter. Just not that, girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty had to undergo a social media trial. In addition, Kangana Ranaut opened up many inside details, starting from drugs at parties to targeting the ‘movie mafia.’

Talking about the vilification of the Industry, Javed Akhtar in a conversation with Hindustan Times said, “The industry paid a price of being high profile. Film industry se bahut logon ka strange relation hai. They love, hate, admire, envy – basically have mixed feelings. What happened was an unjustified, unfair and extreme attack on the industry. Chalo, yeh bhi hona tha. Today, the industry is back on its feet. Things kept moving on.”
