Albeit not entirely, a celebrated anecdote from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar seems to find resonance amid the current discussion of monopoly in the film industry. It reads: "I know he would not be a wolf / but that he sees the Romans are but sheep." It alludes to a powerful man who derives strength owing to the commoners' weakness. And while it may be futile to expect the powerful to relinquish their authority when they are abundantly catered to, singer Sonu Nigam suggests that the industry's tide could turn only if the top brass wills
"Even the most powerful have hearts; they have kids. If you try to arm-wrestle [with them], it will never be nice. We just want to convey a message, and, I think, better sense will prevail," says the singer, who recently released a vlog calling out the monopoly in the Indian music industry that, he suggested, could lead to cases of frustration and suicide, like that of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
