Pankaj Jha who is currently in the news for his remarkable performance as Vidhayak in the recently released Panchayat Season 3 made some shocking claims during a podcast. From calling non-actor stars to questioning the IQ of the Indian audience, some of the statements made by the actor can trigger controversies in the days to come.

Talking about acting talent, Jha said, “Talent hum kis cheez ko maan ke chal rahe hai. Acting toh bhai matlab pata nahi tough job hai bolna ki kaun actor hai aur kaun actor nahi hain. Yahaan toh jo actor nahin hain woh sabse jyada popular hai. Aur matlab karodo ki filme matlab ki woh hit hohi hai aur yeh hota hai. Muzhe kisine interview mein pucha ki jo larger than life wali filmein hain, jo itni hit hoti hai, matlab karodon ka business karti hain uske bare mein kya bolte hain aap. Toh maine kahan ki woh kuch nahi hain woh hamare Hindustan ke IQ ke bare mein baat karte hain.”

Jha added, “Ke hamare Hindustan ka IQ yahi hain. Unka dekhne ka reason yahi hain. Muzhe acchi filmein lagti hai ki jaise Majid Majidi ki filmein. “When asked if he feels that the IQ of Indian audience watching movies is less, the Gulaal actor said, “Jahir si baat hai na bhai. Cinema dekh lo na. Thoda baithke Hindi cinema dekh lo. Lagega ho kya raha hai yaar. Jinko dialogue nahi bolna ata hai, jo bol nahi pate hai, aaj tak nahi bol paye hai ek bhi dialogue woh bhi star bane hai yahan pe bhai. “

When asked the reason behind this, whether these actors are working more on connections instead of work or have been enhancing their presence on social media presence Prakash Jha gave a very controversial reply. He said, “Woh apna toh bhed chal hai na. Toh ek hit ho gaya toh alag alag usi ko. Dusra kya hai na muzhe lagta hai yeh hit wit hona kya hai yeh jo division hai na woh hit ho gaya woh kam kaam kar raha. Matlab jin log ke naam tum le rahe ho unse jyada talented log pade hai industry mein yaar.”

He even said that including NSD all the coaching institutes that teach acting are shops and around 95% of movies look like made in rehab centers.
