In a recent interview Anurag Kashyap has said that Bollywood cannot even understand how to make a film and does not have the capacity to make a Pushpa.

He has said, Anurag Kashyap said, "They don't understand what filmmaking is. Pushpa can only be made by Sukumar. In the South, they invest in filmmakers and empower them to make films."

Anurag Kashyap has gone through a lot in the Hindi film industry and his movies have been banned, shelved and put down from theaters. He has been fired from movies and his frustration at Bollywood is totally understandable.

But it is an overstatement to say that Bollywood cannot even make a Pushpa. In fact, Pushpa closely follows the plotline of Shah Rukh's 'Raees' and Raees is more subtle and realistic too.

Bollywood has always shown the way for how movies can be made and this is a very bad phase for the industry indeed but that does not overshadow the influence that it has.

Bollywood has to learn a lot from the Southern industries now and it is not currently in the lead. But of course Bollywood has the talent and capacity to cater to the whole of India.

Kashyap has also said, "Here, everyone is trying to create a universe. Do they understand their own universe and how minuscule they are in it? That's the ego. When you create a universe, you think you're God." And that is true to some extent too.
