People are scared to make big musicals now: Farah Khan

Filmmaker Farah Khan on Tuesday said she and Rohit Shetty are perhaps the last set of directors in Bollywood who continue to make big musicals, a genre which is slowly fading away.

Farah, known for directing blockbusters like "Main Hoon Na", "Om Shanti Om" and "Happy New Year", said she tried making films on a smaller scale but things never moved forward.

"I feel people get scared to make these big musicals because right now the situation is such that it's said, 'Don't do this, critics will cut it. Don't do that, that will happen.'
"My sensibilities are such that I make Pan-Indian films which would run from B centre to A plus (tiers). That's a difficult thing to do because you have to please one billion people. It's easy to make a film that pleases 10,000 people."
