Renowned Bollywood producer and filmmaker, Ektaa Kapoor is not one to bite back when it comes to speaking her mind. Amid the craze going on about Brad Pitt’s produced American mini-drama series, Adolescence, Ektaa expressed her frustration over the commercial failure of films like Superboys of Malegaon and The Buckingham Murders. Even though both films received critical acclaim, they could not make their mark at the box office. Taking to her social handle, Ektaa Kapoor suggested that the Indian audience is to be blamed for such ‘international standard’ films to underperform in the theatres.
