He said that he thinks they are talking about a different kind of content. He thinks that they are talking about the smaller movies, the web, that kind of content. That kind of parallel cinema that used to not work earlier, like what we used to call art cinema, which used to be a different chain of cinema, has now become a part of standard cinema. He stated that a bit of commercialism has now been added to it; earlier they used to be very small-budgeted films. But now the budget has increased a bit and they have been shifted here now is what he feels, and it is a good thing. Salman Khan mentioned that Dabangg was that film.
