On Nov 8, PM Narendra Modi had announced the abolition of high-value currency notes from Tuesday midnight in a move to wipe out black money, corruption and counterfeit currency from the nation. This generated a lot of buzz among the general public and also Bollywood. A lot of B-Town celebs appreciated PM’s move. SpotboyE.com also spoke to the trade pundits, filmmakers and producers to know how this ban will affect Bollywood.
When contacted, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan texted us back saying, "A brilliant move by our PM to curb black money. Bravo. Maybe inconvenient it would be for a few initially, but better in the long run.Watch the economy boom."
Kahaani producer Jayantilal Gada adds, "Yes those outside people who wanted to make hay after the Studios collapsed may be wiped out, but then did they matter? Do they have any idea of cinema? What difference would it make if they have been stopped in their tracks? In fact, isn't that a blessing in disguise?"
Surely Bollywood is happy with the latest development and so is Shah Rukh Khan, a little late but that’s okay!
