Bengali film industry’s star Jisshu Sengupta discussed the significant gap in budgets between Hindi and Bengali films. He highlighted that the average budget for Bengali films is around 3 crore, with occasional higher-budget projects. In contrast, big-budget Bollywood productions take much longer to complete, with a single song sometimes requiring 8 to 10 days.
Sengupta emphasized the efficiency of Bengali cinema, where films are typically wrapped up within 16 to 18 days, including multiple songs. He noted the presence of Bengali talent in Bollywood, mentioning names like Pritam and Shantanu Moitra in the music industry. Despite the talent crossover, he stressed that the major disparity lies in the financial aspect between the two industries.
The actor also pointed out the abundance of Bengali professionals working in Bollywood, from technicians to directors. He highlighted the technical prowess of Bengali individuals in the industry, showcasing that talent-wise, there is no difference between the two industries. Jisshu Sengupta is gearing up for his role in the upcoming film “Bhooth Bangla,” directed by Priyadarshan and featuring a star-studded cast.
