Dibakar, 41, says he is happy that his films Khosla KaGhosla, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Love Sex aur Dhokha offereddifferent stories without wavering from their socio-politicalthemes.
He promises to bring another edge-of-the-seat thrillerwith Shanghai, starring Abhay Deol, Emraan Hashmi, ProsenjitChatterjee and Kalki Koechlin in key roles. The film will hitthe theatres on June 8.
"I am a firm believer that anything which is boring can'tbe good cinema. Anything serious which is trying to beprofound can't be good cinema either. You can have good cinemabut to make a film which is profound is sacrilege.
"Cinema is about entertainment and it has to connect tothe audience. I don't think any of the films that I have madeso far have not been entertaining. At least I can't be accusedof that and Shanghai would be yet another example of that,"Dibakar told PTI.
Hashmi's character as Jogi Parmar has already become afavourite since the first trailer hit the web and now thedirector wants to see how Abhay Deol is received by theaudience.
The actor, who is teaming up with Dibakar after OyeLucky Lucky Oye is playing a man much above his real age."As a member of the IAS, Abhay is playing this veryhighly positioned bureaucrat. He has his own predicaments tobattle since he is being pushed and pulled by various forces,both from those who are above or below to him in power."
