Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is extremely happy with the success of his latest film Amar Singh Chamkila, exploring Chamkila The beauty of it is found in this contradictory man. “He was a product of society, a benefactor of society, even a victim,” he said.
However, the filmmaker has had his share of flops like Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017) and Love Aaj Kal (2020) ). “When I made them, I just wanted to make a movie, but they didn’t work. All of my movies have had some issues with their execution; [I feel] They could have done better.However, I hope people can also see some of the good in both movies because some of the good stuff may not have come to fruition [at once],” he reflected.
But audiences loved films like “Rockstar” (2011) and “Tamasha” (2015), which are also known as some of his intellectual projects. Will there be more movies like this? “I don’t want my films to come across as intellectual,” Ali said, adding, “If they were, they might come across as restrictive, and I don’t want them to belong to a minority. I’d love to make them A masala film, but I just didn’t know how to make it because I couldn’t help but be myself.”
Meanwhile, Ali, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, is back in the spotlight after four years. The filmmaker, who had never thought of making a biopic, said of the film that it would be “a magnificent story to tell in a time when people are so critical.”
When Chamkila brought back the art of live singing in his films, he wanted to go back to his roots. “The magic and illogical madness of cinema should always live on. But I don’t look forward to making more biopics,” he concluded.
