He is one the most respected and loved actors from the era gone by. But off-late Shashi Kapoor has preferred to be a recluse, however, the veteran actor has now given a television interview after many years exclusively to TIMES NOW's editor in chief Arnab Goswami. He gets candid on the camera and talks on divere topics and also profers some great advice for young filmmakers.
Excerpts of the interview:
AG:It has been quiet overstated big budget family drama that one sees now a days. What are your views?
SK : Some are succesful and some are unsuccessful.
AG: What do you think of them ?
SK: I think, some are made very well. Some do very well. Even I was one of them.
AG: True
SK: And it was very successful because it clicked and the script was superb.
AG: What was it about? Was it the angry young man, the rebel in the system?
SK: No, it became after the publicity, the story of an angry young man, before that, it was just a family story.
AG: But was it real? Today's family drama are not real.
SK: I don't seem many films.
AG: You don't see Karan Johar's films?
SK: I can't say that.
AG: You can't say about that? I want to know, what you think of him?
SK: What I am saying is that I can't comment on these kind of films because I don't see much movies.
AG: Don't be too diplomatic about that.
SK: I have to be diplomatic about it.
AG: No, you don't have to be.
SK: I am sure that these boys will one day make very good films.
AG: I think, you don't think too highly of these new breed of film makers?
SK: The problem in today's times is the advent of technology. They get so carried away by the technology and the scale of filming it that content is lost somewhere down the way. So, they don't go for the content but make the movie very nice.It is very good salesmanship. For instance, Sanjay Leela Bhansali made a beautiful film like 'Black'. I respected him after he made that film. However, before that he was just a good film maker. Even the film that he made with Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai was interesting. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't great but Black was. I think, only few people can do that kind of thing and I am just waiting for that to happen.
