Adding to it, Ramesh Sippy said that, “Ever since Dadasaheb Phalke made the first film, cinema has been changing and it will keep changing.”Speaking about what drives him, Abhishek Chaubey said, “The idea has always been to create content that would be fresh, that would push the boundaries in the mainstream space. I try to make films that don’t lull people into sleeping but jolts them into waking up.”The filmmakers also spoke about why they turned producers. Abhishek Chaubey said, “It’s very important for creative people to take control. When you turn a producer you put your money where your mouth is.”

But how do you maintain objectivity? To this Ramesh Sippy answered that, “As a filmmaker one has to be self-critical and brave enough to question yourself.”
