The Story in Brief
In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Bengali actor Jeet said that when film industry figures enter politics, creativity takes a backseat. He commented on the rapid politicisation of Bengali cinema, where several actors have recently joined political parties. Jeet argued that playing around with power dilutes an artist’s focus on their craft. The interview did not name specific colleagues or parties.

For every MGR or NTR, dozens of stars vanish into committee rooms. The real test will be whether audiences still buy tickets for a politician’s next film, that number will settle the debate.
