With a poster of Dilli 6 — showing a cheerful Sonam Kapoor walking past the old buildings of Chandni Chowk — as the backdrop,the Osian’s-Cinefan Global Summit on whether “Delhi is the new film city” was insightful. The panelists included writer-director Imtiaz Ali,Shekhar Kapoor,producer Suresh Jindal,Delhi’s additional police commissioner Madhup Tiwari and Ramesh Sharma. Incidentally,Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra,the maker of Dilli 6,who was supposed to be part of the panel,couldn’t make it. For all those students in Delhi who aspire to be filmmakers but are clueless on how to go about it,Ali had some advice. “I didn’t go to a filmmaking school myself. To be a good filmmaker,you have to be a good storyteller and should concentrate more on what message your films want to convey to the audience,” said Ali. The discussion also touched upon topics such as streamlining of technicians and shifting of the financial capital from Mumbai to Delhi.
