# Jason Shah Calls Out Bollywood's Dangerous Obsession with Violence: Is Cinema Losing Its Soul? **Imagine a blockbuster where heroes don't just fight—they butcher.** That's the alarming trend actor Jason Shah, known for his intense role in *Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar*, is slamming in the film industry today.[1] In a candid interview with *Times of India*, Jason Shah doesn't hold back. He criticizes the surge of **graphic violence** in movies like *Dhurandhar*, arguing it glorifies brutality over storytelling. "Violence is creeping into every frame, turning entertainment into something toxic," he says, pointing to how films now prioritize shock value. But it doesn't stop there—Shah flags how **religion and politics** are poisoning cinema too. Scripts twisted by agendas, characters reduced to stereotypes, and narratives that divide rather than unite. As an actor who's faced chaotic sets himself—like the "stressful" *Heeramandi* shoot with disjointed directions and uncomfortable moments—Shah knows the cost of poor production firsthand.[1]
