Anirudh Iyer is an Indian film director best known for his work in Bollywood. ‘An Action Hero’ is Anirudh’s upcoming film that is to be released in theatres in the year 2022 which stars Ayushmann Khurrana.
Recently he was interviewed regarding his upcoming film ‘An Action Hero’. There he was asked why not remake? he answered, “Jo film already hai exist karti hai vo ache se bani hai toh main wapis kyu banau? Khudmein Believe karne ki baat nahi hai. Mujhe lagta hai ki agar mai koi film dekhta hu aur vo mujhe achi lagi hai toh mai usko firse kyu banau?”.
When he was asked South remake karoge kabhi? He answered by saying, “Nahi yaar mann toh nahi hai. also I’m from Mumbai and good thing about this city was ap itne cultures ke sath exposed hote ho bachpan se. Thankfully by god’s grace i speak 4/5 languages like Marathi, Tamil, Hindi etc. To wo ek option hamesa rahegi. If I get the right idea or right opportunity I will be very happy.”
He was again questioned back by saying South films are mass films so don’t you eat eager to work in the south industry. He replied, “No, i feel, Hindi cinema has much bigger pressures to deal. What we do in Hindi is we cater to the whole country. Because agar aap ek Tamil film banate ho toh you already know your audience. Par hindi cinema ke paas vo wider ho jaata hai range toh vo dilute ho jaata hai bohot baar to what to make and what audience to target. You make it for the whole country”.
‘An Action Hero’, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat, will be Anirudh Iyer’s directorial debut this year. The director is looking forward to the film’s theatrical release on December 2nd.
