Clean comedy more appreciated: Johnny

Trends come and go in the cinematic world, but the fact that clean humour and good comedy reign over “meaningless” entertainers has sustained over the years, says Bollywood’s beloved comedian and character actor Johnny Lever, who now simply skips “nonsense” films. “I’ve been in the industry for the last 35 years. If we compare today’s comedy with the one that we used to see earlier, then there is a difference, but it’s not a big one. Trend always keeps on changing... But good comedy is always appreciated more than vulgar and meaningless one,” Johnny. “For making a good comedy film, you need a good writer whose craft can be understood through the time that he takes to write his script. A good writer takes time to go in-depth into a subject and then comes out with a good script. Then it’s the job of the actor and director to improvise with it.”
