Exclusive: Milan Luthria celebrates his 25th anniversary as a film director and looks back on his journey. analyzes his past works. “The first draft of ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’ had lines like ‘Apun Tere Ko Borta Hai’. I immediately thought ‘Ram Gopal Varma… Then I said, “I can make this movie.” I can not do it'”

Milan Luthria said, “As someone who was brought up under Mahesh Bhatt, I wanted to make a film that was my own. I didn’t want to make a film like his. He was very receptive to my opinions. . When I was with them, he recommended me some movies. I said to him, “Sir, I will be like you too.” I learned what I had to do and wanted to do my own thing. ”

He explained what attracted him to this idea. Katche Dage“I was interested in movies that were a combination of western and digital. This period was also a time when we hadn’t seen a movie with two main characters in a long time. Deewar (1975), Sholai (1975), Trishul (1978), mukadar ka sikandar (1978) etc. These movies included action, strong heroes, beautiful women, music, good locations, etc. Katche Dage We brought back that era. Many heroes stopped cooperating with each other. There was a competitive spirit. Therefore, this film had a double benefit. There was Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan. Manisha Koirala, who was a big star at the time, also appeared in the film. After that, I got used to her two hero settings and repeated it. Taxi number 9211, Sultan of Delhi, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai etc. “

He continued, “The second achievement was that it was a road film. No one had ever attempted a story where the characters were constantly in motion. So this was a novelty.” The characters were riding trains, horses, motorbikes, jeeps, etc. It was a tough shoot. We shot in Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Pune, etc. and had to keep moving from place to place. ”

Milan Luthria then revealed his beliefs. “Get rid of clutter whenever you can. Don’t do what everyone else is doing. Do what you believe in, even if it doesn’t get done. For example: No one would have thought they would make a movie like that. Dirty picture.Katche Dage We’ve broken the myth that, “If XYZ is making these kinds of movies, ABC must follow him.” That’s how you stand out. And it has to be relevant. I’m not a person who believes in milestones. Milestones are just good memories. We must preserve our memories and move forward with the times. Nevertheless, it’s fun to go back and look at all these photos again today. ” The interview took place in Milan’s office, where he had a well-preserved poster on display. Katche Dage He is walking down memory lane.

Milan Luthria further added, “Keeping yourself fresh is your top priority. Also, you cannot stay fresh if you are always indulging in film industry gossip and conversations. You don’t have to do the same thing just because you like a certain type of movie. And this is very common in our industry. People start following trends and that trend I’ve always kept myself like a sponge: I don’t care about the cast or the genre, as long as I come across an idea and it connects with me. Taxi number 9211 It was a completely unexpected movie at the time.I never thought I would make a movie about war like this. Deewar (2004). That was a huge challenge. Unfortunately, this film was released at a time when several war films were underperforming at the box office. ”

He added: Once Upon a Time in Mumbai When I thought about this, I thought, “What should I do with the gangster genre?”I wonder if they are making it? company (2002) Again?The first draft had the following conversation “Apun tere ko bolta hai”, “Aisa nahin karne ka” I immediately said, “Ram (Ram Gopal Varma) can make this film.” I can not do it’. When someone asked me, “What would I do if it wasn’t this?”, my answer was, “Let’s look at Salim Javed.” In this way, we changed the language, flamboyance, appearance, etc. to provide a fresh experience for the audience. ”

Milan opened up even more. dirty picture happened. People called it “pornographic” and “filthy” and told me I was crazy. But we believed it. The key is to stay away from business disruption. Maintain your individuality. Secondly, you can never be lazy in this business. Must be healthy and sharp. you have to work very hard. ”

The acclaimed filmmaker then spoke about the filmmakers who inspire him and why he doesn’t want to jump on the box office debate bandwagon. “My idols are Yash Chopra, Ron Howard, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese. They continue to make phenomenal movies. Obviously, they’re asking,” It does not mean.Thin movie Kikya opening Ragi‘Monday child drop Hui Yay!. This is not a filmmaker conversation. Director Martin Scorsese recently posted a post titled “What is the world’s problem?” Why are we only talking about numbers? We are filmmakers. You need to talk about the story, characters, music, and locations. ” I want to follow them and see where they go. They have survived admirably over time. ”

Milan Luthria admitted that being a film director has a lot of hard work, but said he is enjoying the experience. Next, you also need to get along with producers, technicians, sales agents, and journalists. You must treat them with sincerity. As they say, keep it simple, fools (smiles). ”

Furthermore, he added: There are many people who are better than you, and many who are better than you. Just try your best. ”

Milan Luthria then went back to analyzing his past projects and also revealed that a new project is on the anvil. Tadap Because it was a great story. For a young romance, it took a surprising turn. Tara Sutaria has done an amazing job. Ahan Shetty is a great performer. Look what he did in the climax. Unfortunately, this movie was released during the Corona era.It was fun to do too sultan of delhi. And now something exciting is happening. Almost locked. This is a movie, and it’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before. And it will be displayed on a large canvas. ”
