At the India Today Conclave, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar reflected on the changing dynamics of the Hindi film industry and audience preferences. He noted that the film industry undergoes a transformation every few years, akin to a revolving wheel, impacting what viewers want to see. Kumar emphasized that as audiences change, their tastes shift, and it's crucial for filmmakers to adapt to these trends.

Kumar cited the film 'Dhoom' starring Ranveer Singh as an example of how different genres find success over time. He mentioned that while 'Dhoom' is an action-packed film with intense scenes, audiences have embraced and enjoyed it immensely. He expressed that the aggressive 'angry young man' trope had faded for a while but has returned in current cinema, suggesting that the public's hunger for such storytelling is back.

Reflecting on his own career, Kumar noted that he had made several socially-themed films in the past, which were successful at the time, but trends have since shifted towards genres like horror-comedy, as evidenced by the hit film 'Stree'. The conversation highlights the industry's need to remain fluid in order to resonate with changing audience expectations and the limitations that some stars face in securing roles in evolving narratives.
