    Donning the Producer’s hat for “Sikandar”
    Sikandar releases on August 21, 2009The next film I am releasing is one I have co-produced, Sikandar, written and directed by Piyush Jha. A bit of a change, to be the producer, rather than the director, and many people have been quite curious about what drove me to produce this film. Which leads to the first question: Why do you make a film? Why do you attach your name...

    Khoya Khoya Chand – just before the release
    In my previous post here, I shared some reasons for making Khoya Khoya Chand. I’ve also been interacting on email with some of the commentators to my blog. With the film releasing tomorrow, here are some more thoughts about this film. With Khoya Khoya Chand, I have taken a story which any of the film makers of the fifties could have made except I have not let my...

    Why am I making Khoya Khoya Chand?
    Why am i making Khoya Khoya Chand? Because the story comes to you. You can’t rationalize everything. You think that making a film about two individuals caught in the mad world of movies, where there are contradictory aspirations, where there are all these lures of popularity and people grappling with that and also their personal situation is interesting. And we...

    Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi… and after..
    I’ve been trying to analyse how different sort of people like Hazaaron. Some people fall in love with it and develop a sort of relationship with it. A lot of young people, students like it. The generation that lived through that period is grateful that someone made a film of that time and caught them as they were. The IAS wives association likes it! I really get...

    The boy who made “Yeh Woh Manzil To Nahin”
    I have been reading comments to the previous posts and some of you asked me to write more about Yeh Woh Manzil to Nahin and the idea behind it. I must say at the outset that I am no longer the boy who made Yeh Woh Manzil to Nahin. I sort of see, the kind of idealistic boy. I kind of know him. Sometimes I find him very naive, sometimes very didactic. I seem to find him,...

    PERSONALLY SPEAKING
    Popular Cinema I personally think that most film makers in India are children and most films in India are childrens’ film and rather bad childrens’ films. Their notion of love is that of a fourteen year old. In all popular entertainment the notion of life is going retarded. It’s an illusion which you make people buy into and you get rather hurt when they realize...

    Generation Now, Cannes and… Cash
    GENERATION NOW A few months back there was a screenwriting conference at the FTII, where there was a lot of bullshitting going on. Even some of the people there had no idea about writing and had written some terrible scripts. Today, the problem is that people theorize too much. They think they have become events, before they have actually become events. Before you know...
