Kiran is currently writing the script for her next film
Mumbai:
Filmmaker Kiran Rao, who has carvedherself a separate identity from her actor-husband Aamir Khan,is happy directing movies that focus on human interest withoutworrying about box-office success and records.
"I think you can't blame people as they have this way ofjudging you as Aamir Khan's wife and there is nothing wrongwith that identity. Until I made Dhobi Ghat people did notknew what kind of a person or films I could make, what are myinterests and talents," Kiran said.
"But now people view me through a different lens. Ittook a film for an audience to see what I do. Now people seeme as a separate filmmaker other than Aamir. I have my ownwork, aesthetics," she said.
Though she is just one film old as a director, Kiran ispretty clear of what kind of films she would not make.
"Films like Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore don't excite meas a filmmaker... I don't think I can make it. It is unlikelythat I will make films like them," she said.
Tell her that these are movies that did Rs 100 crorebusiness, she says, "The Rs 100 crore is not that important tome as a filmmaker. I am very excited that films are doingwell. I feel any film that is successful, is good for allfilms. It is a great energy that comes from successful films."
"There are some good films which may not have a goodbox office run but they might be of greater value in otherway. I am not fascinated with Rs 100 crore club in any way. Idon't think I can ever make a film thinking I want to breaksome box office records. It does not excite me," Kiran said.
"I like making human stories, interesting characters. Iam intrigued by why people make choices that they make, how wechange in life, how people and things affect us. So peopleinterest me a lot. I think my films will be about myinterests. I like photography and visual image...I don't dothem. Films that I make would be cohesive and make sense butartistically help me move ahead," she said.
Post her directorial debut Dhobi Ghat, Kiran has beenbusy writing a script.
"But I have started writing for my next film. I don'tknow when, what. I will make the film only if it is worth andvaluable," she said.
Presently, Kiran is busy promoting Ship of Theseuswhich releases on July 19.
Also as a producer, there are couple of scripts thatare interesting.
"Next few years will be great for us. Satyameva Jayate2 will be aired by the end of this year or beginning of nextyear.
The research is on for that... as research takes lot oftime. We don't want to commit a date," Kiran said.
