Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone spoke at a session named ‘The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler’ on day 1 of WAVES Summit 2025. Moderated by Karan Johar, the session created waves (pun intended) due to SRK’s replies. He also made a vital statement towards the tip of the session.
WAVES 2025: Shah Rukh Khan makes a STRONG statement; backs China-like theatre BOOM in India: “Going to cinemas is becoming very EXPENSIVE…we’d like more theatres, CHEAPER theatres”
Shah Rukh Khan said, “Its outstanding that the initiative for WAVES has come from the honourable Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) himself. Or else, film industry members keep crying, ‘Humko industry status kab doge’! It’s a time when filmmaking has turn out to be an increasing number of difficult and it has turn out to be difficult to get the audience to cinemas as a result of so many other platforms. With WAVES, 2-3 things should occur. Firstly, the shooting process in India should turn out to be easier not just for us Indian filmmakers but those that want to return to shoot here from abroad. It’s because India has a lot to supply – it’s so culturally wealthy and so beautiful. We also go abroad and shoot but can we invite atithis (guests) to return here and provides all of them the infrastructure.”
He added, “Secondly, the festivals have markets where movies are sold all around the world. That ought to occur with WAVES.”
Shah Rukh Khan further said, “Lastly, the decision of the day is quite a bit more theatres, simpler theatres and cheaper theatres in smaller towns and cities in order that we are able to showcase Indian movies, made in various languages, to a bigger majority of Indians at cheaper rates. Otherwise, it’s becoming very expensive and in addition, our cinemas are mostly concentrated in big towns. We keep talking concerning the China model with regard to the variety of theatres; that may occur here as well. (Once now we have more cinemas), it’ll increase footfall. Thus, we’ll have the opportunity to provide entertainment at a less expensive price and in every corner of the country.”
