Filmmaker Rohit Shetty recently attended an event of the Indian National Cine Academy in Mumbai. The director made several statements that made it to the headlines. During the event, he also talked about language barriers as one of the problems in Indian cinema. Let's take a look at what he has to say.Bollywood Hungama quoted Rohit Shetty saying, "I think it’s one nation, one cinema, and one celebration; that is, Indian cinema." The filmmaker further shared, "All our producers and directors would agree that the sad part about footfalls is that our country has a population of 140 crores. Yet, the biggest blockbuster will be seen by just 3 or 4 crore people in a theater. Not more than that. The reason behind this is the language barrier. The other reason can be that we don’t recognize those technicians." Rohit Shetty didn't stop there and went on to say that he would like to say that an Odiya or Assamese director will "get recognition on a bigger and better platform, thanks to INCA. He’ll be able to show his talent to the whole world. I think it's high time that we all come together."The filmmaker last worked on his film 'Singham Again', starring Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, and Tiger Shroff. Actors like Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Salman Khan also made special appearances in the movie.Next, he is set to work on 'Golmaal 5'.
