Ekta Kapoor praises Priyadarshan for Bhooth Bangla’s success
Veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan marked a major milestone with his 100th film, Bhooth Bangla, which turned out to be a massive box office success. The film reportedly generated huge profits for producer Ekta Kapoor, prompting her to share a heartfelt message appreciating the director’s dedication and professionalism.
Sharing a post on Instagram, the creator of Naagin reflected on Priyadarshan’s collaboration with her for his landmark 100th movie. She mentioned that while many expected grand cinematic fireworks from the partnership, few were aware of the mutual respect and understanding that shaped their journey together. Kapoor added that working with him had been one of the most enjoyable experiences of her career.
Ekta further revealed that before the project even began, the National Award-winning filmmaker made it clear that he would not want to make a film unless the producer earned profits from it. She praised his rare mindset, noting that Priyadarshan ensured the producer’s financial security before starting the venture itself. According to Kapoor, this gave her confidence that both her company’s investment and the film were in safe hands.
Concluding her long note, Ekta admitted that although they had creative differences at times, every discussion remained respectful. She emphasized that a director ultimately steers a film forward and thanked Priyadarshan for his vision, discipline, and for giving her the biggest blockbuster of her career. She ended the post by expressing her gratitude, love, and immense respect for the filmmaker.
