Mumbai: He is known for making good cinema, but Dibakar Banerjee warns actors against having blind faith in any director. He suggests that one should give importance to script.
"No actor should trust a director blindly. All good actors should trust only the script. My film scripts are ready a year before I go and show it to the actors. In `Shanghai`, there are three actors -- Abhay Deol, Emraan Hashmi and the script," Dibakar told reporters. All the way from ‘Khosla Ka Ghosla’ to ‘Shanghai’, Dibakar`s movies have been loved by the audience. He usually picks up unconventional topics and his latest flick, "Shanghai", is no exception. Dibakar says despite successful films in his kitty, he is worried about the response to "Shanghai" that also features Kalki Koechlin and Prosenjit Chatterjee. It is releasing June 8. "After a film is made, how would a director won`t have pressure? I am not a big filmmaker. I have risen slowly. People have appreciated my work and that is why I am here," said Dibankar, adding that he doesn`t want to misuse it. IANS
