Veteran actor Om Puri, who is looking forward to his up-coming film 'Khap', that deals with the issue of honour killing, says, cinema has become a business and he is not happy with the kind of roles he has been offered.
"Cinema has become business minded...it has become more greedy and money-minded. I am not happy about it. I don’t believe in the cinema that only entertains. I believe entertainment is important but at the same time it is also important that we raise social issues. We need to talk about or show issues through the medium cinema," Puri told PTI.
Om Puri just represents general disgust of all especially old generation. Now everything has become commercial and there is no morality, no humanity, no love.

His thinking is fine but than he needs to go on with liking of his directors and producers otherwise it will be much tougher for him to survive in this industry where competition is so much....
Art movies are out of scene now.Om puri having worked in many of art movies which represented the then prevailing social issues is a veteran actor and even viewer's expectation from him is too high. He is seen as one of the pillars of such movies.
Arise Awake and Rest Not till the Goal is Achieved.
