Filmmaker Explains Love Story Aversion Amid Global Crises
19 Sep
Summary
- Dhulia finds more compelling subjects than love stories globally.
- He would only make a love story with cultural or historical dimensions.
- Acting is a 'luxury' for Dhulia, directing is his primary work.
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia has expressed a distinct lack of interest in directing conventional love stories, emphasizing that more pressing global issues provide richer narrative material. He finds subjects beyond simple romantic entanglements far more captivating.
Dhulia indicated he might consider a love story only if it carried substantial social, cultural, or historical weight, drawing parallels with epic films like 'Mughal-e-Azam.' He stated he does not watch contemporary love stories, finding them less engaging than other themes.
Transitioning to his career focus, Dhulia identified directing as his core profession, while he regards acting as a secondary pursuit or a 'luxury.' He shared that his acting debut was unplanned, initiated by director Anurag Kashyap, despite Dhulia's own initial self-doubt about his acting abilities.
His directorial venture, 'Ghamasaan,' a dacoit drama inspired by the legend of Dadua, premiered on ZEE5 on September 11, 2026. Set in the Bundelkhand region, the film delves into conflicts against a backdrop of local social realities and landscapes.
