Is the terrific opening of Mirzapur The Movie today because of the Janmashtami holiday or due to some other reason?
– The bumper opening of MIRZAPUR THE MOVIE is because of the Janmashtami holiday and also because of the immense popularity of the MIRZAPUR web series. The world and characters of the film and the web series are the same.
What has led to the immense success of Hanuman Ansh?
– Mouth publicity! The film fared poorly in the first two weeks. Collections picked up from the third week onwards. The film is now doing extraordinary business not just where Neeb Karori Baba, on whose story the film is based, is popular but also in other parts of the country where he is not as well-known.
I have access to unlimited funds for producing films. All I need are some good scripts. Can you help me contact good writers who have great subjects? What should my modus operandi be?
– Your modus operandi should be to not let the world know that you are flush with funds. Otherwise, you will be surrounded by people who will promise to connect you with writers who have “great subjects”. The truth is that nobody knows what a “great subject” is. The greatness of a subject is often out only when a film clicks at the box-office, because there is no objective way of assessing the value or worth of a script. The day you understand how to assess a “great script”, do let me know.
