'Rebellion creates art'

SHEKAR Kapur, who was appointed as the director of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), shares that he accepted the position because of his love for films. "How could I not support the Indian film industry? However, I think we have a way to go," he says. In this exclusive conversation, the veteran filmmaker speaks about creative freedom, business side of the film industry, and more

Excerpts:

Today, there is a lot of criticism of vulgar, violent, and abusive content/films. Does this impact creativity and creative freedom? A filmmaker should have a belief system. I don't put anything in the abusive content category. Didn't I make Bandit? We fought censorship.
