 "Vikramaditya Motwane slams Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2 for dominating screens over All We Imagine As Light: 'We will throw her film out, not let it breathe or...'")
Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane, who is known for directing films like Udaan, Lootera, Trapped, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero and others, has criticised Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2 for hogging all the theatres and leaving no window for Payal Kapadia directorial All We Imagine As Light, which is nominated for the upcoming Golden Globes.
Sharing the screenshot of a theatre in Mumbai with 36 shows of _Pushpa 2_ in a day, Motwane wrote, “And yet, Payal’s incredible success will mean f**k all to us because we will throw her film out, not let it breathe or find an audience, and will have 36 shows a day of one film in a single multiplex. Congratulations. We deserve this.”
Payal recently created history by becoming the first Indian director to get nominated for Best Director at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards. All We Imagine As Light features Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam and Hridhu Haroon in prominent roles. The film has also bagged a nomination for the Best Motion Picture for a Non-English Language.
In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Payal Kapadia said, “I made this film trying to raise money, which was from government grants. As I wanted some freedom as to what I wanted to do in the film and not have any baggage of, like, the box office. So in order to do that, I had to find co producers from all over the world and in India also. And so that process takes time, in the middle. I made another film. So that was also in Cannes in 2021. It’s called A Night Of Knowing Nothing. After that film was done, I had the funding. So from 2022 onwards, I started working on this film. I shot in 2023, and it’s out by 2024. So, actually, it didn’t take that much time. It was more than raising the funding beforehand that took time."
