Subhash Ghai Calls Out The Attitude Epidemic Among Small-Time Actors
The legendary director says even actors nobody's heard of are acting like superstars these days, and he's not having it.
Subhash Ghai’s having a moment. The ace director, known for blockbusters like Khalnayak and Taal, is spilling industry tea about a shift he’s noticed: everyone’s got attitude now, regardless of whether they’ve actually earned it. Even the small actors, he’s reportedly saying, are behaving like superstars.
According to reports making the rounds, Ghai pointed to Raj Kapoor’s iconic Bobby as a turning point that changed how actors saw themselves. He’s noting a broader trend where stardom has become the only currency that matters. Commerce, bankability, influencer status - that’s what gets you on a film now. The result? Everyone wants to be treated like a megastar.
What’s wild is how the game’s totally shifted. Back in the day, you had to earn your swagger. Now it seems like attitude comes standard with an IMDB page. Ghai’s basically saying the industry’s lost some humility along the way, and it’s starting to show in how actors approach their craft.
