Filmmaker Anand Gandhi is revisiting the journey of his critically acclaimed 2013 film, Ship of Theseus. He notes that while the film's word-of-mouth theatrical release was memorable, the current cinematic landscape would necessitate a different distribution strategy, potentially blending limited theatrical runs with community screenings and streaming partnerships.
Gandhi expressed deep gratitude for the pivotal roles played by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao in the film's release. He highlighted their 'small miracles' and extensive support, emphasizing that they never interfered with the creative integrity of the film, providing essential credibility and visibility.
Looking ahead, Gandhi has unveiled his new sci-fi fantasy universe, MAYA, with the recent launch of the novel 'MAYA: Seed Takes Root' on Kickstarter. Narrated by Hugo Weaving, this marks the first product from the universe he created with designer Zain Memon, signaling an exciting new chapter for the visionary filmmaker.
