Filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor visited the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in the city yesterday to host a special screening of his upcoming film Lakshmi. Swapnal Tilekar spoke to the versatile director about films, the industry, and his decision to screen the movie at various institutes in the country
Why did you choose FTII to screen the film?
I chose this platform because I believe that a movie is a thought and want the youth to understand it, because ultimately, they are going to take it forward. So I’m planning to screen the movie at least in 15 colleges and institutes across the country. This is our attempt to try and spread the message to the audience that they can initiate a change in the society. Lakshmi is not just another film for me; I want people to believe in it. Even if 10 per cent understand the message, I’ll be elated.
