Sumit Arora Discusses Growing Recognition and Challenges for Writers in Bollywood

Sumit Arora, writer of films like Jawan and Border 2, highlights that Bollywood is gradually recognizing writers' importance, reversing a long period of limited credit and compensation. However, some filmmakers resist this shift, fearing writers gaining too much influence reminiscent of the Salim-Javed era. While progress is evident with films like Assi promoting writer recognition, Arora notes that the industry still restricts writers' status and remuneration, indicating room for improvement.
