Richa Chadha on content-driven films

During a promotional event for her movie Section 375, Richa said that Bollywood always used to make content-driven films but it is only now that they are getting highlighted. She thinks that this is because commercial actors and commercial production houses are becoming part of such kind of films. This could be a nod to recent hits of content-based films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Padman, Airlift starring Akshay Kumar, an A-list actor in Bollywood. Earlier, movies like Shahid, Aligarh, Talvar were high on content but did not perform very well at the box office.
