“Bollywood has become driven by ‘projects’, all revolving around an actor or a director’s available dates. I want to make storytelling the hero again. For me, it’s all about the script and the universal sentiments, told from India, that the entire world can understand. I have eleven such scripts, printed and sitting in a steel vault at IFFI Goa – the first time this has ever happened. I am excited to meet and share these scripts with young and upcoming industry talent at IFFI2023, as well as established friends in the industry and some more special guests flying in from all over the world.”

“I don’t believe that you can place cinema into genres. Art is borderless and boundless. ”
