Abhishek Kapoor Wants To Avoid Making Similar Movies

Abhishek Kapoor, who is gearing up for his next directorial “Kedarnath”, says his attempt as a filmmaker is not to repeat himself with a similar kind of films on the big screen. When asked about how he inspires himself with every new project, Kapoor in an interview said, “As a filmmaker my attempt is not to repeat a film. There is a trend out there (in the industry) that if there is a hit film, then people start making similar kind of films. For instance, if you make a good action film, you repeat that.

“I work in an absolutely opposite way. I want to disappear and would be happy if there are no traces of me in (my new) film. The joy of making a movie is the humility of not knowing anything about that world. From ‘Rock On!!’, I did ‘Kai Po Che!’…everything was different.”

Written, directed and co-produced by Kapoor, “Kedarnath” tells the story of a Hindu girl who takes a pilgrimage to the historic Kedarnath Temple in the Uttarakhand mountains, where she meets and falls in love with a Muslim boy who is her guide. As they grow closer along the journey, they face many obstacles, including familial disapproval and contrasting backgrounds. When the sudden rains that led to the 2013 Uttarakhand floods devastate the region, the couple is forced to survive against the elements and face the ultimate test of their love.

Releasing on December 7, the film will launch Sara Ali Khan, the daughter of actor Saif Ali Khan and his former wife Amrita Singh. She has been paired with actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Kapoor, whose last directorial was “Fitoor” starring Tabu, Katrina Kaif and Aditya Roy Kapur, has no pressure of failure with “Kedarnath” — if, god forbid, that happens.

“I have seen too many failures in my life. People started recognising me and my work since I became a director, but I used to be an actor before and I have seen way too many failures and disappointments there also.” “After a point, you get pretty hardened about it because you know how it is to live with failures. The thing is to break barriers,” he said.
