 I am a filmmaker. I have been one now for over 20 years. I am very passionate about filmmaking and I make my living off it. The Indian film industry is unique because of the economics of the country, because of the population of the country. For us, unlike the developed West, cinema is not just an expression of art. Cinema is fulfilling two other major functions. A, it is taking you away from the hard facts of living because out of that 1.3 billion people that we are, most large budgeted Indian films will shoot outside of India. Even films with a story set entirely in India end up shooting outside of India. For this one reason, the minute to stray into the fantasy land, into illusion of the songs and dances, then space is no longer a limitation. You go to wherever is beautiful.
