Om Puri |
You started your career with Arts films but today you are doing commercial cinema only, why?
Today there is no difference between Art Films and Commercial Cinema, because no one is making pure art films today. Nowadays filmmakers are only concentrating on commercial cinema.
Directors like Govind Nihalani, Prakash Jha, Rajkumar Santoshi and Maniratnam are the only few ones who are making both kinds of film. Working in Art films is a pleasure. Plus they are shown in different film festivals and even get awards. However, it's difficult to rely completely on them as there's not enough money in it. And still if the producer or director asks me to work in an art film with a challenging script & role, I always put in my genuine efforts and try to give my best to the film.
Which is your other up coming Films?
Apart From 'Mukhbir', 'Khatta Meeta', 'Maalamaal Weekly' are my recently coming up movies. |
