Filmmaker Onir says he is not an offbeat film director, but has been unfairly labelled as one. The National Award-winner, who is known for his films like My Brother... Nikhil (2005) and I Am (2010), says that his work has always been mainstream.
"I've been wrongly slotted as an art-house director. I don't make art-house films. Neither My Brother... Nikhil nor Bas Ek Pal (2006) was art-house. But somehow, because of the content, I have been bracketed as (an) art-house [filmmaker]. The way I use music, the narratives, all have been mainstream," Onir stated in an interview.
The filmmaker, who was in the capital to promote his upcoming venture Shab, said he lacks the skill to create art cinema. "I don't think I have the capability or the skills of a real art-house filmmaker. I make mainstream films but with content that has some semblance to reality."
