No Salman & SRK in Marathi cinema, content in king: Sumeet
Actor Sumeet Raghavan says Marathi cinema is not a star-driven industry as content is the king there. Summet was last seen a Marathi film with Nana Patekar called "Aapla Manus" and in his next release, "Bucket List", the actor is paired opposite Madhuri Dixit. "We don't have a Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan. We don't have anybody who can pull off a film. In Marathi, content is the king. We have a bunch of supremely talented actors, who can add a lot of creative value to the project and that makes the film more beautiful," Summet told PTI. "In Hindi cinema, there are actors who can make a dead film work. But the content in Marathi cinema is rich and only that can bring audience to theatres," he said. He further says, Bollywood bigwigs are shifting their focus to Marathi cinema and it is a huge thing for the regional film industry.

There's hesitation to explore mature love stories in India: Ekavali Khanna
Actor Ekavali Khanna feels Indian cinema shuns mature love stories as the industry finds older couples at the centre of a romantic plot a bit difficult to digest. The 38-year-old actor, who features in "Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain" opposite Sanjay Mishra, says the society has conditioned people in a way that the elder generations are expected to behave in a certain manner that is "agreeable to their age". Khanna has worked in films such as "Kaun Kitne Pani Mein", "Aur Devdas" and critically-acclaimed Norwegian film "What Will People Say". "There are so many mature love stories that have been very successful in Europe, even Hollywood, but in India, somehow I feel there's this hesitation to explore that age group, especially in the context of romance.

If they are going on a bike ride or holding hands, ...
