In Osian's film festival, Imtiaz Ali said "I don't want to make movies for a limited audience. When I am taking money from somebody else and making a movie I need to recover cost. I automatically think on those lines while directing a film because I am a man of common taste."
The 38-year-old director does not want to be in the league of "different" filmmakers.
He does not want to prove that he is a different director or that he wants to re-invent himself with his movies. He just want to tell those stories which he thinks he can show the best. He says he is a victim of his own limitations. Imtiaz Ali has become one of the most sought after directors in Bollywood post the success of 'Jab We Met' and 'Love Aaj Kal'. The film, despite its girl-meets-boy theme, struck a chord with the audience because of Ali's innovative story-telling method.
In an interview Imtiaz Ali said "Bollywood is in that phase now when people are bored of formula films, so we directors are under no compulsion to make a certain kind of movie. We can make them the way we want to. We are happy to be directing films at this point of time". "Before the films release we tend to say things to the media to sell the film. I try to lie as little as possible.
Imtiaz has always accepted the flaws in his films and is ready to accept the criticism openly when they are released. Ali said in an interview," None of my movies have been perfect, after a while I do see defects in them and wish that I could correct them."
His first three films have revolved around the subject of love, but Ali insists that there is no deliberate reason why he chooses to explore this topic repeatedly, be it in his first film 'Socha Na Tha' or his latest 'Love Aaj Kal'.
