90s superstar Govinda has revealed that there are only a handful of people controlling the film industry these days. The Raja Babu star in an interview with a leading media portal, shed light on the existence of camps and coteries in the film industry. The actor agreed that Bollywood is now being dictated by a handful of people. He said that earlier, whoever was talented got work. The actor also told the portal that earlier, every film would get equal opportunity in theatres. He further said that now, there are four or five people who dictate the whole film business. The actor also said that the few people decide if they want to let films of those who are not close to them, release properly or not.

The yesteryear actor also told the portal that some of his good films also did not get the right kind of release. However, the actor also added to his statements that things are changing now. He hoped that things will get better in future. He further talked about success and films being a form of art. Govinda, adding to his comments to the media portal, said that the film industry needs to accept those who have merit. He further said that this approach will also help those who are not as talented.

Explaining himself on that, Govinda said that accepting people with merit and talent will help other people to work harder. Talking about his career, Govinda said that during his early career, he was told by many people that he won’t make it at all. The actor told a media portal that either one can work hard or pay heed to what people say about them. Govinda also told the media portal that he never let his lineage come between him and his art and kept working hard for success.
