2010 was the first time I went to the Oscars when I produced ‘Kavi’, and you know it has been a long journey to explain what producers actually do. I don’t come from money or from a film family. In India, most people think if you are a producer, it’s a lot of money. You can bankroll things. But I creatively shepherd things, I find a story and double down on it. I go on to find money per project. For me, every film or every show and even every shot is like a startup. I find the money, make a report and market it, release it. It is a lot of work, be it ‘Lunchbox’ or ‘Masaan’, I have packaged the film and released it, and taken it to festivals. Netflix understands what a producer does to nurture a project and protect the vision of the filmmaker as well. A project is so many years in making. But to say I am content, I am content and grateful for today but I do hope a lot of my films travel, get funded and win Oscars. Because why not? I actually feel I got started, this is nowhere my end. There’s so much to do for cinema and my country. ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ is now in the top five, and to be nominated in itself is a great deal. I hope it wins and we continue to do more.
