MUMBAI â The director and co-writer of âRickshawalaâ is an ex-journalist and a friend, and I have often wished and once hinted to him that he should try his hand at a mainstream commercial film as well, whose definition itself has changed over the decades.
It is a bit sad to see really good directorial talent just going on the offbeat track and releasing his subjects and winning multiple awards at festivals, which is good for the man and his rep, but we miss a potentially great talent in mainstreamâwhere today we have a Rajkumar Hirani, Rohit Shetty, Nitesh Tiwari, R. Balki, S.S. Rajamouli and others complementing each other and co-existing.
