Rajkumar Santoshi Draws The Line On Changing Film Trends

MUMBAI-Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has opened up about the current cinematic era in India, saying he will keep pace with technological changes but will not blindly follow trends or compromise on the kind of content he believes in.

The director said that while many contemporary films feature abuses and bold content, his movies have always remained clean and rooted in family values.

Santoshi said he wants to stay up-to-date with technology to keep pace with today’s audience, but will continue to make subjects that he believes in.

“I will only do what I believe in. Technologically, I will try to constantly update myself. Improve myself as much as I can because today’s audience is not the same as it was in the 90s. So, keeping in mind their excitement level, I will do my best technically so that they don’t get bored with the narrative. I will work hard on that, but content-wise, I will not do anything that people like.”

The filmmaker also said he does not believe in making sequels, which he sees as an ongoing trend in the film industry.

“I will go by my heart. What my heart says. I will make that subject,” he concluded. (IANS)
