'We're Fooling Ourselves': Tollywood Star Jeet Opens Up on Box Office Corruption After 25 Years in the Industry

Kolkata: Bengali film star Jeet, marking 25 years in the industry, spoke candidly about corruption in box office reporting in an interview with Bengali news portal The Wall, saying "we are fooling ourselves" by not confronting the issue directly.

The actor, widely known as the "Boss" of Tollywood for his string of commercial successes since his 2002 breakout Sathi, also said he does not take the superstar tag too seriously, reflecting on a career spanning more than 55 films.

This account is based on a single interview and has not been independently corroborated by other outlets; Rashtrix will follow up with additional reporting if the actor's comments are picked up more broadly.
