Here’s Kiran Rao’s Advice To Aspiring Writers

MUMBAI, (IANS) – Basking in the warm reception accorded to ‘Laapataa Ladies’, Kiran Rao has a message for all aspiring screenwriters to be on top of their game.

Rao said: “I always feel that there are some films that do well and some that don’t. To be relevant, you have to make something that speaks to you as an audience.”

A good story, according to Rao, is “something that you resonate with, something that you find interesting and important to talk about.”

She added, “If it is important to you, then you will never be irrelevant.” Speaking about the evolution of the audience, Rao said, “People’s attention span is reduced because they have access to multiple screens and different types of content that are easily available.”

Adding her personal take on the subject, she noted: “As a filmmaker, I feel that you need to be on top of your game. If you are good, and tell stories that are interesting, that are relevant to you, that you have a certain desire to communicate, you will be a good storyteller, whether you are on an OTT platform or making a film.”
