Screen Play

“At first we had apprehensions about how the play will be received. After a few screenings,we realized that my memories could be yours too. We are human beings at the end of the day,” says Kapoor. The Blue Mug revolves around four people recounting their lives on stage.

It’s not all wrong to assume that the greys in life seem to have always drawn Kapoor,the filmmaker. “My next film,A Rectangular Love story,is a love story,” he defends himself mockingly. So,are we to expect a lot of Bollywood mush in his film that revolves around a girl and three boys? “I can’t promise that bit,” he accedes with a laugh. On a serious note,he explains that as a person,and also as a filmmaker he can’t either pretend there is no pain in life. “I am a great advocate of life. But you can’t ignore that fact that it isn’t always rosy. I think my films reflect that feeling,” says Kapoor.

While his films might appeal to a niche audience,Kapoor says that he doesn’t make films keeping an audience in mind. “It’s a film that should please me. And if manages to please five other people,I am a happy man,” he rounds up.
