New Delhi:
Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, whose ambitious project Paani has been in the making for many years now, says it's easier to make sequels to his films than to work on a passion film like Paani.
"Quite normal for passion films like Paani to take time. These r films made despite many odds. Gandhi took 15 yrs," Kapur posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Though he has no immediate plans to work on sequels to Elizabeth 2 or Mr.India, he added: "Far easier 2 make Elizabeth 3 or Mr.India 2. But my heart lies in Paani."
Paani is a film on water wars, and shows how water becomes a precious commodity and creates a rift between communities.
"When I 1st announced Paani no one thought it was a issue. Now suddenly everyone has woken up," added Kapur, who will begin shooting the movie in November.
The movie is expected to release in mid-2012.
