Anupam Kher: “Nothing Fake Will Work At The  Boxoffice”

Anupam Kher is delighted that after his Uunchai, another film Drishyam 2 has opened to encouraging boxoffice collections.

 “It’s  not about original or remakes. It’s  about what touches  the heart.Beimaani nahin chalegi(fake films won’t work).  If you  make a genuine film then it doesn’t matter who is  in it. The honesty  of your intention should  shine through, as  it did  in Uunchai,” says  Anupam.

 He  is   delighted by the audiences’ response to Uunchai.  “We  expected our genuine intentions  to be appreciated. The public has been through a  lot  during the  past two years. They have  begun to appreciate  and value the things  that are  worth appreciating and  valuing. Aap unhe jhoothi kahaniya nahin  suna sakte woh  nahin sunenge(they won’t listen  to your fake stories).  The  only way to bring the  audience back is to give them stories that come from the heart. You can’t pull them back into theatres  by tempting them with stars.”
