HOLLYWOOD IS THE BEST aftab you don't know anything about hollywood movies you seems don't watch tv or read newspaper & bolly always same ideas or copy from americanmovies or korean and for those who says bolly is better than hollywood is idiot and stupid

Aftab was not saying that the Indian Film Industry is superior to Hollywood. Rather, he was talking about what is unique about the Indian Film Industry. All the people I interviewed, including Mr. Bachchan, were complimentary of Hollywood. Thanks for your comments! Keep them coming!

Aftab is actually being quite modest about his accomplishments. Along with his blockbuster comedy hits: Hungama(fun), LKLKBK(I'll do anything for love)& Masti(funtime)-just to name a few-He's also well known for his role as a ruthless businessman who murders his wife for her fortune in Kasoor(Fault), his debut film Mast(Carefree)of an ordinary guy in love with an actress, to Ankahee(Unspoken)which is a semi-biographical account of the film's director-Vikram Bhatt's life...and many more! =)
