Shah for people who are behind the screen making things happen. Let’s take a look at what the actor has to say.

As per Indian Express, Naseeruddin Shah said, “They have spent their entire life in a dark room for all of us, to entertain us, we should applaud them. I am thankful to Shivendra Dungarpur (FHF founder) and his team for recognising these people. I am here as an audience, I am grateful to have met and interacted with them. The bitter truth of the film industry is that those who work hard a lot during the making of the film, like light men and others, their income is not much.

Hollywood is right now at a standstill due to the writer’s strike that haulted many major projects. Speaking of the same, ‘The Dirty Picture’ star and Vidya Balan co-star said, “This is the nature of the beast. The issue is this thing remains the same even post the release of the movie.

They are not even awarded.”
