Shekhar Kapur slams Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariff on foreign films: “Over 75% of box office of Hollywood films come from outside the US”

Shekhar Kapur, renowned for films like Mr. India and Bandit Queen, shared his thoughts on X and wrote, “Over 75% of box office of Hollywood films come from outside the US. And a significant part of the budget of those films are spent outside the US.”

He added, “President Trump’s imposition of 100% tariff on all films imported into the US may encourage Hollywood to move outside the US! Quite the opposite of what he intended.”

Posting on his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump criticized other countries for offering lucrative incentives to attract American studios and filmmakers abroad, labeling the situation as both an economic and national security threat.

Trump emphasized the importance of returning to domestic film production and stated that the new tariffs are designed to level the playing field and motivate studios to keep their operations on US soil.
