MUMBAI: Despite enjoying mainstream cinema, Nawazuddin lamented the dominance of a specific genre in today's film industry, influenced by trends from the '80s and '90s. He highlighted that while certain films with popular actors continue to thrive, the survival of other cinematic genres is at stake.

Nawazuddin voiced his concerns, stating, "Same films are being made, just with different actors, costumes, makeup. I am really hopeless about the future. A lot of people are optimistic, but it has been quite clear that the audience likes to watch a certain type of film, which is good, they must. But cinema of every kind should survive, which isn’t happening.”
