Rakeysh Mehra cannot sit on the laurels of RDB forever and the director knows that. He sounds pretty excited about his upcoming Dilli 6 and here are some excerpts from a recent interview.
On His Hiatus:
“This is my natural pace of working. RDB came three years after my first film Aks. I’m coming after two and half years with Dilli 6. After Aks, I was un-learning my mistakes. My biggest shortcoming in Aks was the screenplay. It has taken me six years to understand the concept of the screenplay. Now I know the most imperative part of my creative system is to know what needs to be gotten out on screen. The urge to make a film should be like an obsession. Dilli 6 is the one I’m dying to make now.”
On his off-beat films:
“I’ve great faith in the audience. It has always shown a great deal of maturity. In fact, we the filmmakers are also the audience. Why do we forget that? Audiences aren’t some species from outer space or a symbolic unidentifiable mass of people. The minute you isolate yourself from the audience, the film won’t work. Cinema is all that I do, apart from swimming.”
