In cinema there are no fix ideas to make certain subjects or one particular subject. Long back someone asked me why I chose Bhoothnath as my first film? That made me think, what is a first film, second film?
When Raj Kapoor ji made Aah… Awaara… or Shri 420... was there any plan or he just believed in those subjects…?
Sanjay Bhansali started his career with Khamoshi The Musical and Karan Johar with Kuch-Kuch Hota Hai… Farhan Akhtar made his first film as colourful as Dil Chahta Hai and next more meaningful… Lakshya…
Films which you want to make sometimes take time to find their way…
Madhur Bhandarkar made Trishakti as his first film and then made Chandani Bar…
Especially with new subjects, directors have to fight the cut throat market dynamics and have to fight for quite long to convince layers of people…
A lot of big and successful stars also crave to do meaningful cinema.
Trust me, success or failure does not play in their minds... it’s just a belief…
Belief in making those films which you really want to do… in whichever order or sequence… first or last…
Choice of subjects decides the fate of a director and his journey…
When society was changing Cinema was in synch with it…
Now Cinema is changing as society is settled and happy…
