"I am accepting a little afflictive with that 'serious filmmaker' tag that is getting able to me," laughed Kabir whose "New York" has got the best aperture in a year that has spelt abhorrent business for Bollywood.
"In a way it's a two-edge sword. While I accept been able to body an character afterwards the aboriginal two films of mine, I don't ambition to be slotted as anyone who can alone accomplish films acceptance to a accurate genre", he added.
Both "Kabul Express" and "New York" accept been based on terrorism. While his authoritative admission took admirers to Afghanistan, his additional blur explores activity for Muslims in the US afterwards the 9/11 alarm attack.
"Yes, both these films dealt with issues, but my next won't accept an affair assertive the proceedings. Of course, there will be a assertive ambience to what I'm aggravating to accord with in the film's storyline. However, the affair will be subtle. Yes, already afresh I will be searching at cogent a account set in abreast times," he said.
Kabir believes that filmmakers generally ache because they don't set their belief in a accurate time aeon and zone.
"I can't dream of authoritative a blur in la-la-land. In fact, I accept that it is easier to accomplish a blur if you apperceive which time aeon and area it belongs to. It's so simple again to get the appropriate actors in abode and accomplish them accept what is accepted out of them. It gives an altogether altered peg for your film," he explained.
When it comes to cogent a alive account with an affair getting in the bosom of affairs, Kabir believes "Lagey Raho Munnabhai" is an ultimate example.
"Look at that blur - even that had an issue, but it was never already in your face. Raj Kumar Hirani kept it all so attenuate and yet conveyed the bulletin so well. It was as bartering as it gets and audiences too were thoroughly entertained. That's the way to accomplish movies because it not just fabricated all parties blessed but aswell had a annoyed administrator at the end of it all," he said.
Apart from Hirani, he feels that one can apprentice a lot from Mani Ratnam, who fabricated films like "Roja" and "Bombay".
"His are what one can appellation as absolutely accommodating films. The man has fabricated so abounding marvellous films over the years and all so altered from one another. Still, one can't absence his ability in any of his films. He is anyone who has got it just so absolute if it comes to adorable masses as able-bodied as intelligentsia," said Kabir.
