Good scripts hard to come by in Bollywood: Amyra Dastur

Actor Amyra Dastur says it is incredibly tough, especially for outsiders, to get good scripts in the Hindi film industry.

The actor, who has worked in films like "Issaq", "Mr X" and "Kung Fu Yoga", said she came on board Leena Yadav's "Rajma Chawal" because it is a content-driven story.

"Good scripts are difficult to come by in the industry, especially if you are an outsider. For me, it has always been about acting and I will do films which are content- driven," Amyra told PTI.

The actor, however, believes audience has started driving the demand for good content as they are rejecting even a big ticket film like Aamir Khan's "Thugs of Hindostan" if the story is not appealing.

"That's when you realise, especially in this industry, that a good script with good content is so scarce. Even our audience now, they don't want a 'Thugs..', we saw that. They want an 'Andhadhun' or a 'Bhadhaai Ho'. Our audience is craving content."
"With platforms like Netflix, things are evolving as they are making content-driven films and series."
