New Delhi: Farah Khan's latest film 'Happy New Year' may have earned Rs 300 crore at the Box Office, but it hasn't impressed veteran actress Jaya Bachchan at all. Jaya's son Abhishek Bachchan has a double role in the film and has won plaudits for his performance.
At a recent literature festival, Mrs Bachchan was on the panel discussing the lack of interest in adapting books for the big screen. On being asked how she found 'Happy New Year', the senior actress said, "HNY is the most nonsensical film I've seen in recent years. I said that to the film's lead actor as well. I watched it only because Abhishek was part of it. I told him he's a great actor if he can act stupid in front of the camera like that. I can't be part of what is being done in films these days and hence I don't do films anymore."
She also added, "Unfortunately cinema today is about business, not art. We call good films art house cinema. What does that even mean? All cinema is art."
