Irrfan Khan is remembered by Vishal Bhardwaj, who says, “When I see good movies, I miss him.”
Vishal Bhardwaj said nice things about the actor Irrfan Khan, who had died. They worked together before on the movies Maqbool in 2004 and 7 Khoon Maaf in 2011, the political action thriller Haider in 2014, and Vishal’s movie Talvar in 2015. “You miss Irrfan in every movie.” I make every movie I watch, and every time I see a good movie, I miss Irrfan. Vishal Bhardwaj says, “That is the biggest loss for me personally and for the industry as a whole.”
The director is currently promoting his son’s first movie as a director, which stars Arjun Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Tabu, Konkona Sensharma, Kumud Mishra, Radhika Madan, and Shardul Bhardwaj. Vishal and Arjun Kapoor, who plays the main character in Vishal’s film, talk about the current state of the film industry and what we’ve learned from the past year.
“It’s definitely a new phase, and it’s a new audience with a new way of thinking.” They know a lot more about other kinds of information and different ways to watch things. It’s not just the big screen anymore. Being at home has changed both their taste in entertainment and the way they enjoy it. But what we were doing was more important. Our audience has grown, so we need to change and adapt. Also, we need to give more credit to our viewers for being smart and logical. Arjun Kapoor says, “I think Kuttey is the same kind of movie.”
The actor said that no matter what job you have, you need to keep learning. “This is especially true in our job because the stakes are getting higher.” It costs a lot of money to make movies, and it costs even more to get people to watch them. So you’re dealing with a situation where the stakes are getting higher because of what’s going on in the world. People need to get the most for their money because life is expensive. But you also need to know who you’re writing for. “I think we’ve grown a little apart from our audience over the last two years, when people stopped going to theatres and started watching things at home,” says the director.
