Actor Om Puri, who is "not very happy with the films" coming his way, criticises the current trend of casting big stars as villains and comedians, leaving little room for artistes like him.
"I think the star system needs to be broken and so too the filmmakers' mindset. If it's the 'Mahabharat', it's got to be Amitabh Bachchan as Bhishma Pitamah, Shah Rukh Khan as Karan, Aamir Khan as Arjun and Salman Khan as Ashwathama. If I'm lucky and if Saif Ali Khan refuses, I get to play the sutradhar (narrator)," he said.
