Filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor says he has made a deliberate attempt to be different in the tone and genre of his movies to avoid being slotted into a particular bracket.
"I don't want to get bored. Primarily, I want to be excited as a filmmaker. I consciously see to it that I am thrilled while doing each film," Kukunoor said.
He admitted that this might not work with the audiences each time as proved by the box office debacle of his last film Bombay to Bangkok.
"It was a light hearted comedy and perhaps with the success of earlier films like Iqbal and Dor, the comedy genre was not taken well by my audience. Perhaps, they went to see Bombay to Bangkok thinking that it was in the same league as the previous two films," he said.
But Kukunoor said he is determined not to pander to audience's tastes and make films which make him happy.
"Ups and downs are part of show business. Making films with conviction and belief is the only thing, a filmmaker can do," he felt.
The comedy genre is not new to me. My debut film Hyderabad Blues was a light hearted film and even Bollywood Calling was a comedy, he said.
Speaking about his upcoming film Aashayein which releases on June 20, Kukunoor said, "it is a drama where the driving force is 'live life now'. It is story of a compulsive gambler who discovers new meaning of fortune and life through a dramatic turn of events. It is a tale of the protagonist's journey from darkness to light-- about love, hate, life, death and above all hope".
