The Director Is The Only Person Who

It Was Only After Pather Panchali Had Some Success At Home That I Decided To Do A Second Part. But I Didn't Want To Do The Same Kind Of Film Again, So I Made A Musical.

Well The Bombay Film Wasn't Always Like How It Is Now. It Did Have A Local Industry. There Were Realistic Films Made On Local Scenes. But It Gradually Changed Over The Years.

I Wouldn't Mind Taking A Rest For Three Or Four Months, But I Have To Keep On Making Films For The Sake Of My Crew, Who Just Wait For The Next Film Because They're Not On A Fixed Salary.

When I Write An Original Story I Write About People I Know First-hand And Situations I'm Familiar With. I Don't Write Stories About The Nineteenth Century.

Most Of The Top Actors And Actresses May Be Working In Ten Or Twelve Films At The Same Time, So They Will Give One Director Two Hours And Maybe Shoot In Bombay In The Morning And Madras In The Evening. It Happens.
