The truth about Poi...
|
Priyadarshan on his experience in "Poi Solla Porom
|
OPEN TO FRESH IDEAS Director Priyadarshan
As he is an established
filmmaker, Priyadarshan
had no qualms
about working with a
bunch of newcomers in
"Poi Solla Porom", which
he is co-producing with
UTV. He is extremely confident
about the script: "I
loved the way this revenge
story was narrated to me.
There is power in it but no
harsh action sequences. Instead,
the script has been
written intelligently. Isn't
that fantastic?" He is all
praise for his assistant Vijay
who is directing the
film. "This is the first time I
am producing a film, and I
thought, there are bound to
be differences between the
producer and the director.
But since we are on the
same wavelength it works
out well."
Priyadarshan believes
small films have a good
market. "The Tamil film industry
is always open to
small films. I did not think I
would make it in Hindi
when I heard the script. I
thought it would be more
apt for a Tamil audience."
The producer is ecstatic
about the climax of the film
and says, "It was the most
impressive part. We
worked a lot to get it right."
Although the producer
roped in a new director for
the film, he is not too happy
with some of the present
generation of directors.
"They need to read a lot.
No one seems to be doing
that, and this is resulting in
poor cinema. We are
technically wellequipped,
but the new
set of directors needs to
work hard on their
scripts."
As an independent
producer, he is not disturbed
about being part
of a corporate such as
UTV.
"The film industry
can grow with the help
of corporates. We can
take more risks when it
comes to the budget, as
there is plenty of money
available. We need
not worry about distribution
as well.
Priyadarshan is releasing
his second film
as producer shortly,
and will be directing
Shah Rukh Khan's next
venture "Billoo Barber",
under SRK's home
banner. Soon after this
he is making "Hera
Pheri 3" with Akshay
Kumar and Paresh Rawal,
his favourite actors.
