Short interview, IFFI 2003
Here’s a short interview (through Sify.com) done on the sidelines of IFFI 2003. Highlights:
It is only reading that can make me write. I never learnt acting from any formal institute. ‘Watch and imbibe’ is the mantra and this festival offers enough opportunities.
It’s a corrupt India. It’s time we changed that. And let’s start with home entertainment.
I think there will be more focus on English cinema. The language of communication in India is English now…It’s a very good tool left by our colonial masters and we intend to make use of it.
Sex sells everywhere in the world and is bound to add to a film’s commercial value.

Home entertainment be the first? Well personally perhaps homes should be the first considering theres about 20% of the country living on the streets and another 20% living in not much better.
Nice interview though…

Venkat: He’s talking of corruption, not of other ills in our society. Also, it has to be taken as a filmmaker’s point of view…

And what is the underlying reason behind the other ills in our society?

I don’t think it’s just corruption. Let’s leave it at that and not digress from the focus of this blog.
No offence meant. Appreciate your comments…
