Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says that he can only find scope of improvement in his past works
Veteran filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says that he cannot watch any film he has directed because then he can only see what he could have done better.
“I have not seen Masoom since I made it. I can’t watch any of my films because I only see what I could have done better. I still cannot watch as an outsider. So cannot fathom why it has such a following all these years after its first release,” Shekhar wrote on social media.
The filmmaker is known for directing films like Masoom, Mr. India, Bandit Queen, Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
Shekhar is known for his works in Bollywood and international cinema. He gained international recognition with the 1994 Bollywood film Bandit Queen, based on Mala Sen’s biography of infamous Indian bandit and politician Phoolan Devi, which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.
The film was also premiered in the Directors Fortnight section of the 1994 Cannes Film Festival and was screened at the Edinburgh Film Festival.
