Siddharth Roy Kapoor and Murad Khetani.
Filmmaker Siddharth Roy Kapoor recently attended India TV’s famous podcast ‘The Film Hasle’, where he discussed several important issues related to the film industry. During this, Siddharth told how he selects the script for a film. According to Siddharth Roy Kapoor, he selects the script only by keeping himself in place of the audience. According to him, he first keeps himself as an audience and sees whether he would like to watch this film and on the basis of this he selects the script.
How Siddharth Roy Kapoor chooses script
Siddharth said- ‘The only way is to keep yourself in place of audiences. It is not that I do not like it, but the audience will like it. If you are liking and you feel that this audience will like it, then I make a film. Many times it also goes wrong, but it is necessary to have your own setfi, because you have to spend 2 years with it. So it is important that you like it. Thinking that I did not like this, but the audience will like it, it may harm you. ‘
How to decide the budget
Responding to this, Murad says- ‘First of all, who is the best in which genre, then start with the best. First of all, the director should come in the board. After the director we approach the actor and others. After all this, you decide the budget. When the director and actor come on the board, it is understood what your recovery will be. On this, we decide the budget. Yes, there is a risk in films, but Kelkulated is the risk.
It was difficult to bring the theater to the audience
‘I first look at any project from the perspective of the audience. Now the audience has become comfortable. He likes to sit at his home and see something comfortably. He can close it whenever he wants, starts whenever he wants and can also see a break. Whether we like it or not, but it happens. The epidemic has just increased this thing. Now it has become more difficult to bring the audience to the theater. The audience’s habit of going out and watching movies is becoming less. But, when he comes, he comes in large numbers. For example, Bhool Bhulaiya 3 did business of more than 250 crores. Last year, 4 films did business of over 500 crores. So when the flow is good, the audience starts getting out. Like in 2023, many big superstars films came and got good response from the audience.
