In filmmaking, there is no formula, only belief and passion take you there.
Mr. Chopra was part of a panel that addressed a session, "What Kind of Films Work for Today's Audience", at the FICCI-Frames 2008 global convention on the entertainment business in Mumbai on Wednesday, the 26th of March.
Mr. Chopra said, "While it is easy to put a finger in hindsight, the fact is that when a filmmaker sets out to make a film, it is his passion and belief that urges him forward."
Explaining that no filmmaker has a formula for a hit film, Mr. Chopra said a true filmmaker would always be honest to the medium and leave the rest to the audience.
"I make the kind of films I do because I believe in them even though I have no idea whether they would go down well with the audience. I think all filmmakers set out to work on their films because they are passionate about them," he said.
