Superstar of Kolkata Bangla cinema Prasenjit Chatterjee has asserted that Bangla films could prosper if Bangladesh opens its market to them, reports IBN Live.
The 51-year-old, who has featured in over 300 films, considers Bangladesh a good market to sell India-made Bangla films.
“But there are political and social commitments. And due to the rate piracy there, we are not able to do good business,” said Prosenjit.
The celluloid hero made the remarks at the screening of his latest film “Jaatishwar.”
He added: “Another factor that impacts the business of Bangla cinema is screening of other language films in the state.”
We never got the opportunity to do only Bengali cinema in our state.”
He further said: “In South India, they don’t entertain Hindi films the way they should be. They only have Telugu, Tamil and Malayali films. Hindi films are not big there.”
