Ganesh Acharya’s refreshing take on the entertainment industry is a breath of fresh air. The renowned choreographer-director has worked with both Bollywood and South Indian stars, including Allu Arjun in the blockbuster films “Pushpa” and “Pushpa 2”. In a recent conversation with Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa on their YouTube channel, Acharya shared his experiences working in the South Indian film industry, where he was impressed by the respect shown to technicians.
Acharya revealed that Allu Arjun personally called him to appreciate his work, which is a rare gesture in the industry. He praised Arjun’s humility and professionalism, saying that he takes everyone along with him, which is a quality that Bollywood stars can learn from. Acharya also shared his experience of attending the success party of “Pushpa 2”, where he was amazed to see the respect and appreciation shown to the entire team, including technicians and spot boys.
However, Acharya also spoke about the darker side of the industry, where some people prioritize their ego over the well-being of the project. He expressed his disappointment that some directors and producers change the script and choreography at the last minute to appease the stars, without considering the hard work put in by the technicians. Acharya emphasized the need for the industry to focus on the script, technicians, and the overall quality of the project, rather than just trying to please the stars.
Acharya’s words are a reflection of the harsh realities of the entertainment industry, where creativity and talent often take a backseat to ego and politics. His message is a call to action for the industry to introspect and make amends, to prioritize the people who work behind the scenes and to strive for excellence in every aspect of filmmaking. As someone who has worked with both Bollywood and South Indian stars, Acharya’s perspective is a valuable insight into the inner workings of the industry, and his thoughts are definitely worth considering.
