Wazir: Amitabh Bachchan explains how Bollywood used to function in 1970's and 80's

Amitabh Bachchan has been one of the very few actors from the 70's who still actively doing films. The actor believes that the film industry has come a long way since the 1970's where in every director used to find it tough to raise funds to make a film as against the studio system today.

The megastar, in an interview during the promotions of Wazir revealed that film industry today is much more organised. He feels this helps the actor come up with better performances. He said,

"The whole process of making films has changed, earlier there was always a shortage of funding. If somebody wants to make a film, his first aim would be to impress the funder? How would he do it? It was simple, he would sign big actors, big directors and propose the funder to fund him. So the fund which the director used to receive used to shoot one song and fight scene to impress the funder and thus raise more funds. This process used to go on for a year and the artist had to shoot for the same character for over a year."
