Scripts
are
the
foundation
of
a
good
movie.
One
can
ruin
a
good
script
while
transforming
it
into
a
film,
but
it
is
very
hard
to
make
a
good
film
out
of
a
bad
script.
But
Priyadarshan,
one
of
the
top
money-making
directors
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
today,
is
not
happy
about
the
new
generation
of
directors
and
their
scripts.
"They
need
to
read
a
lot.
No
one
seems
to
be
doing
that,
and
this
is
resulting
in
poor
cinema.
We
are
technically
well-equipped,
but
the
new
set
of
directors
needs
to
work
hard
on
their
scripts," he
says.
It
is
timely
to
quote
India's
most
acclaimed
contemporary
filmmaker
Adoor
Gopalakrishnan
on
this
issue.
"When
I
go
to
watch
a
movie,
I
am
looking
for
the
unusual,
a
new
approach.
There
has
to
be
something
new
that
I
can
take
back.
But,
unfortunately,
in
many
movies
I
know
what
I
will
see.
A
good-looking
boy
and
girl
dancing
around
trees
and
pretending
life
is
just
about
that.
I"d
rather
not
see
it,"
he
said
during
an
interview.
It
is
true
that
people
watch
films,
clap
and
feel
happy
with
the
'mindless' action
in
front
of
them
because
that
is
what
they
have
come
to
expect.
Hence
many
directors
like
to
rework
on
the
decade-old
themes
which
have
pleased
the
masses
since
generations.
They
do
not
venture
for
something
novel
and
forget
that
we
also
have
cerebral
audiences
who
come
to
the
theatre
to
watch
the
unusual.
Priyadarshan
is
currently
working
with
a
bench
of
newcomers
in
his
upcoming
Tamil
film
Poi
Solla
Porom.
He
is
all
praise
for
his
assistant
Vijay,
who
is
directing
the
film.
And
he
has
good
reason
(a
whopping
budget)
to
produce
this
film
in
Kollywood
instead
of
Bollywood.
"The
Tamil
film
industry
is
always
open
to
offbeat
films.
I
did
not
think
I
would
make
it
in
Hindi
when
I
heard
the
script.
I
thought
it
would
be
more
apt
for
a
Tamil
audience."
This
is
the
first
time
Priyadarshan
is
venturing
as
producer.
Poi
Solla
Porom
will
be
released
soon.
His
next
directorial
venture
is
Billoo
Barber
in
Hindi,
after
which
he
will
be
making
Hera
Pheri
3
with
Akshay
Kumar
and
Paresh
Rawal.
