R S Prasanna: “I Am Not Doing Another  Sex-Related  Film”

Shubh Mangal Savdhan made  made  its director  R  S Prasanna verysavdhan(careful) about what he wants to do next.

“It is  not  a sex-related subject again. To me  repetition would amount to death. I know I broke through the  taboo on  sex subjects in mainstream Hindi cinema.That doesn’t mean I’d  like to encash on that theme or make it my forte.I’ve many more stories to tell, and none of them are about sex right now,” says Prasanna whose  Shubh Mangal Savdhan was  about erectile dysfunction.

 Prasanna is busy writing  his next . It will be produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur.

All the affable director would reveal  is, “It’s  a subject that was with me  for some time now. I have been working on  it. It is  again going to be  a light-hearted take on an important  issue. But no message-mongering or  preaching. Audiences have no appetite for finger-wagging cinema.”

Recently Prasanna shared the dias with S S Rajamouli and he came away a total  fanboy.  “To simply  sit with him in a discussion on cinema during 2017 was such an honour for me. To watch him talk with such  childlike enthusiasm  about his work and about what cinema  means  to him, was a huge learning experience for me. If  I could  retain  that same  level of enthusiasm in  me that I had while making my first film I’d consider  myself blessed.”
