One of the very fine actor of Bollywood Irrfan Khan feels that Hindi cinema needs to raise its standards to survive among good Hollywood films and regional films.
Irrfan stated, "Cinema is changing and its audience is getting mature. If you can present content driven film then audience always gives result to the film. "But now I feel that Hindi cinema needs to raise it's standard because from one side, good Hollywood films are dividing business of Hindi cinema and from other side, regional films are getting better."
The actor also said, "Southern films like "Baahubali" has the capacity to capture the whole market of India therefore, Hindi cinema need to come up with really good subjects. "They should attract the audience through that otherwise it will get difficult for them."
Irrfan also said: "English has become a necessity. We are not against that language in this film and I feel as an individual, we should learn as many languages as we can but we should be proud and have confidence on our own language. We should not feel backward as compared to anybody."
