00:00You know, it's, it's, you know, I think the traditional films that we see, theatrical
00:10films, as we would like to probably say, you know, have always faced challenges, right?
00:14When there was a there was a boom of the VHS, which came a few decades ago, you know, it
00:18changed the way people consume content, suddenly they could watch it on a videocassette at
00:21home after release.
00:22And then came the satellite boom, and you saw with the onspring of Zee TV, and then
00:26of course, followed by so many other networks.
00:30And now you have the OTT world.
00:31So I think there are constant challenges that are put forth, you know, to such films, but,
00:37you know, that's, that's what makes the whole theatrical experience so exciting and equally
00:41challenging for us to deliver as filmmakers, because you're constantly fighting so many
00:46different ways of consuming content, the distribution has changed.
00:49I think the kind of content has evolved, you know, we're now scrolling for content half
00:54the time.
00:55So you know, you're fighting with that as well.
00:56So, but there's space for everything, there's space for everyone.
00:59And I'm a strong believer that a good film will always find, find an audience for itself.
01:06That's unquestionable.
01:12I think over the years, we've seen a lot of films where, you know, the protagonists are
01:17females, you know, I think, I think we should shy away from saying female-led films, because
01:24I find it very strange, because everything that's female-led is female-led, everything
01:29that's not female-led is just a film.
01:32So I feel like, you know, a film is a film, you know, whether the protagonist is a male
01:35or a female, it's incidental to the script.
01:39So I think we've reached there now, you know, where you just want to watch a film for the
01:43film that it is.
01:45And I think we need to kind of rewire ourselves into not thinking that it's a female-led film anymore.
01:55I don't know, I don't think, I don't think there's a conscious effort on my end and my
02:00team's end to kind of choose different genres just so we can show, I think it's about stories
02:05that we resonated with, scripts that we liked, and we thought we should put them together.
02:11You know, we have a very interesting, you know, creative team in the office, and each
02:17one is very unique.
02:18So I think that kind of helps me also to kind of evolve and come up with different ideas
02:23because everyone has their perspective.
02:25And there's an audience for everything, right?
02:26I mean, there's people like consuming different genres, there are people who only like consuming
02:30certain type of genres.
02:32So I think as a company, we strive to kind of, you know, create that plethora of content,
02:36which is, I would say, genre agnostic and medium agnostic, yeah.
02:45You heard me say, I'm glad they love the work and I'd rather just leave it at that than
02:49risk it all over again.
02:51But no, right now, I'm having jokes about my focus is purely on writing and producing
02:57and, you know, driving the company further and pushing the narrative on the company.
03:02And I think, yeah, for the now, that's where my focus is.
03:06I don't know what the future holds.
